Envisions you being arrested by the MOD and trying to explain why you are taking a picture of a Horse Chestnut tree. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Not the best of pics but it was a bit of a dull day here yesterday, unlike today, it couldn't be raining any harder at the mo! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

We really do need to take care of our environment, make sure that our trees are being taken care of in the community, and taking lots of pictures of them to post on POE. It seems that every time I visit England, I take loads of pictures of one subject, it was snails one year, cobwebs another, and yes, one year I came home with hundreds of pictures of trees. One of my friends here expressed a desire to see my pictures, and when we were done, she told my husband, "I think Sue likes trees". I may have to post a few more here. I love their shapes, clothed or unclothed. They have real character. I ramble on, don't I. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I read this somewhere about three years ago and since then have put fresh ones in the lounge every year (the conkers not the spiders) - and no spiders. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I don't care as long as it works. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
