Magical Tree

I wish I had noted the name of this incredible tree, but alas. It lives in the Jardin Bontanique in Marnay-sur-Seine, France which very sadly is closed to the public now because of lack of funding. I snuck in, well walked in, as the doors are not locked and the place is a revelation - truly breathtaking. The amount of care that went into making it is obvious. It felt like an enchanted kingdom. I hope to return.

All in a line

In this area of France, the Aube, everything seems to grow and grow. They plant trees in orderly lines, and they grow fast and then they come and cut them down, haul them away and plant more. Forgive me I am not sure of exactly what kind of trees they are...poplar, pine? Walking by these woods is like being in the best kind of factory ever.

Mistletoe grows in the trees! I did not know that mistletoe was a parasitic plant that lives in trees.

Thanks

That's me, the little yellow tree supported and sheltered from the storm by a strong group of friend trees. I give thanks for that and a million other things on Thanksgiving and on most other days as well.

This amazing tree is in front of my aunt and uncle's house in New Hampshire. I love this tree. I took lots of pictures up there last week and the results can be seen here.
