I right-clicked the red X image, clicked properties, and found the direct link to mich's photo and am copying it into this post to see it full-size. Lovely. Mich, use the "direct link" URL for what you paste between the bracketed image marks that appear when you click on the "Insert Image" button in Any Port to get the full size image.

Oh my gosh, I have to stop laughing my stomach hurts!!! ;D I just clicked on recent and was scrolling up and saying to myself, hey, that looks like my lake, hey that looks like my picture, hey, that is my picture!! Ha Ha!!
Thank you Kimby. Yes, those are the trees rimming the bay where I live. I took this photo last fall. You can also see some last wisps of a campfire across the lake.
I am going to keep trying. Thanks Kimby, you have made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Cheers! Mich

very nice images, mich, and what a place you live in. Lucky that branch didn't fall on your house.
Do you live in a fire-prone area? Is there a "nervous season" of the year there like there is here?

Hi Kimby, yes that time we were lucky none landed on the house. We have had one fall right in front of us on the deck. We are not in a fire zone, but when we go without rain for a period in the summer months, we will have no fire warnings, which means no campfires. Cheers, Mich

Ohhhhhhhhhh! I saw your winter pictures before I saw these, Mich. You have such a beautiful house and such perfect, sensitive landscaping. The autumn picture is dazzling.
Congratulations on your first anyport pictures!

Gorgeous autumn trees Mich...I really like the pattern the leaves make on the decking, a really lovely composition as well.

I just LOVE leaf-out season. Unfortunately, it's still like this around here: This is an elderberry, which is a small tree or large shrub. They are good source of berries for the birds, so when we built this house 25 years ago, I protected this wild shrub with a fence to keep the builders and excavators from killing it. It has a bird nest every year or so, and the chickadees use it in winter as a perch between birdfeeder visits. The spines are more than an inch long, so when we trim it we have to get every bit of branch picked up, otherwise I'll end up embedding one in my foot, right through my flip flops.

Beautiful Spring is springing pic from Paris. But Kimby, your photograph is a veritable song. That's a lovely, lovely picture and enjoyable text, too. Here is something I think you'll like ~

More trees but not entirely... At the recent Royal wedding at the end was a flypast of vintage WWII planes - A Lancaster bomber a Spitfire and a Hurricane. Now I know that when they fly over London they also fly back past my home on their way back to their base. Sure enough, after a few minutes there was the unmistakeable sound of the Lancaster and there they were. Just look into the distance beyond the trees.

But what a wonderful haunting and emotive sound they are. In the best ever list of aural experiences I can think of, up there with the sound of a skylark in the summer, is that of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
Bliss.

Mark, I heard and saw a skylark on the farm here a couple of weeks ago. Must be the first time in 15 years. I just watched and listened as it went higher and higher until I could no longer see or hear it. Magical.........

When we were kids they were the sound of summer and I've spent very few summers in the UK for many years, so I've not heard one for ages. I'm not surprised there are fewer and fewer. Disappearing hedgerows, changing of crops...........etc.

And you rarely hear Merlin engines any more either. Other sounds must have replaced them to fill the void, but none for the better.

Love your tree hugging trees Imec! Makes me smile every time I walk to the shops in the village seeing the hole that's been created in this tree to make way for electricity cables -

Nicer to make a hole rather than to remove a complete side of the tree, which is what they normally do.
