this week i planted my first biggish tree, nearly
three times the height of a shovel:
It is so beautiful!
Birds love their berries,
I sense it will bring joy
to watch it grow over the years.
sun ignighting
illuminating
the marvels of life
held within leaves
rising from the heart of a tree
yes, I am smitten
European Mountain Ash
aka
Rowan Tree

Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJe suis certaine que mon ami Léo le toucan aimerait lui aussi venir grignoter les petites baies de ce magnifique arbre. Le feuillage est splendide ! Vous avez eu raison de le planter et je suis certaine que chaque qui passera vous l'admirerez...
Vos photos sont merveilleuses.
Gros bisous
thank you Martine ~
DeleteYou'll see what you're going to love to that tree that you have planted !
ReplyDeleteHave a good one .
Tomás.
yes, i think you are right Tomás.
DeleteI can see why you are smitten! It's a stunner! And I never knew it was also called the Rowan tree -- I'd heard of those and just was never sure. We had a mountain ash in our yard when I was growing up and I have never forgotten how much I loved it. But your photos show it in a remarkable detail and with a clarity that I, as a teenager always in a hurry, never noticed. Thank you!
ReplyDeletenice to hear about the mountain ash you grew up with. macro photography really shows the details, that and sunlight.
DeleteBeautiful!! Yes, this lovely tree will bring you joy through all of the seasons! Especially watching your bird friends feast in the winter.
ReplyDeleteyes, i bought it for the birds and me ;-)
DeleteVery beautiful, and keeps you safe too........lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteWe have an old one in our garden but the leaves haven't turned yet, maybe because the weather has been warmer than usual this September.
Enjoy your tree Tammie,
Ruby
we have been getting below freezing nights for weeks now Ruby, that has really gotten the colors happening.
DeleteI also read about it's ability to protect and so much more, fun to consider.
You are going to love it, and the birds it draws. One of my friends has a Rowan tree in her yard. I have taken pictures of it often.
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes
DeleteWhoah, good job. That's a really big tree planting you did.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful leaves and patterns, by the way.
:-)
thank you Rick, it is pretty big for me to handle. A friend dug the first half of the hole which gave me incentive to complete it. My soil is clay and rock, not easy digging!
DeleteI agree, such beautiful leaves and patterns.
You'll love watching the ash grow, Tammie. Bob and I marvel at the evergreens and aspens we planted about 15 years ago. They're reaching for the sky and give us a lot of pleasure.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour on the leaves!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are beautifully shinning in the sunlight,Tammie. I like to see the energy that the yellow leaves flowering holds!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are like nature's flames! So gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful leaves against the sunlight, showing the lovely details of their structure. I'm sure this young Mountain Ash will give you such pleasure as it grows in size and beauty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful young tree... I'm sure it will grow and flourish under your care.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
Hug Crissi
There is always something special about planting a tree. It's a bonding experience that continues to grow ♥
ReplyDelete…I'd be smitten too. I bet we will see this tree and its berries showing up in your art (with a fairy or two appreciating it)! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colours, Tammie. I would be smitten too.
ReplyDeleteOh the colours are so beautiful, rich and warm, what a delight!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous brilliant color! No wonder you're smitten with it - I would be, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating one-man show of the Rowan Tree leaves! I’m smitten by the colors and the veins of a leaf, too. Enjoy watching it over growing.
