Had a lovely #lunchtimewalk with @druid earlier.
The #sunlight was amazing through the #hazel #trees & casting lovely shadows on the #woodland floor.
Sharp & spiky #holly #leaves also reflected the sun nicely.
Meanwhile, #ivy could be found in the darkest places & #hawthorn trees were enjoying the fine weather with branches full of ruby #red #berries.
Our trees have a #magic of their own & #precious, & can teach us many things.

Wattles are out in force and blooming profusely - and right on cue, now in Melbourne.
This tree is quite large and the yellow blossoms, generous. The scent of this thing was pungent.
#Wattle is known for such an impressive attribute, as well as their bursts of yellow, of course.
They’re really something else!

A cheeky house #sparrow pokes its head up above the fronds of wild #rose on which it is feeding. Out of focus rose blooms are in the foreground and background. Also in the background at the twigs and leaves of an immature #hawthorn.

My friend Kate, who told me all this, also said that she'd tried to become invisible by running around the hawthorn three times clockwise when she was a child. At the end of the third time she got scared but felt already half invisible, so she somehow managed to change direction to run around another three times anticlockwise. After that she felt safe but never did it again!

Time slows down when you approach the speed of light and when #Hawthorn are holding on to a slim lead.
(neither of which are frequent occurrences, tbf)

May and Ron and waterfall.
Very low river levels, heading for a drought.

2023 has been an amazing spring for Hawthorn blossom.

The hedgerow Hawthorn is in full flower right now, with so many bees visiting it gives hope that they are in recovery

It's nonstop birds and hawthorns in bloom, out here in the middle of nowhere, clear of the industrial outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent.
Spring on the Caldon canal seems to be a few weeks behind the rest of the midlands, judging by what's blooming and the size of moorhen chicks and goose goslings.

I believe this is a type of #Hawthorn.
It’s fruit looks delightful.
Bright and vibrant, the fruit even shines in the late afternoon sunlight . It must attract the birds big time.
I think It was this same kind of larger fruiting tree, that was being stripped a few weeks back at sunset, in a leafy #melbourne suburb (near #Kew), by at least 150+ #longbilledcorella.
It was like a scene out of that movie ‘The Birds’… a real mess of leaves, fruit and branches strewn over the road and footpath.
They were screeching and chortling, a real dynamic and noisy scene to behold.
Never quite observed anything like that in suburbia.
This gorgeous Washington Hawthorn (I believe it is) was snapped in #Bentleigh #Australia.

The hawthorn blooms
So beautifully,
On a city street
Behind a low wood fence.
Be bright!
It says.
But don’t forget your thorns…

3 years after planting it, I'm really excited to see my #hawthorn flowering for the first time
