This beauty is one of my favourite Grandfather oaks, and perfect for #ThickTrunkTuesday — he can be found at Folly Farm Centre, near Stowey in Somerset if you want to visit. I took this just after sunrise on a frosty January morning in 2020, before the world changed.

@SingingLehrerin Thank you! The light was amazing that day, coupled with the frost. I just use an iPhone 12, so guess I got lucky.

Here is my tree picture. It is 10 years ago in Christchurch, New Zealand. Between their two major earthquakes which took down their cathedral.

I have no idea what kind of tree it is... That is me hugging that beautiful tree.

The frosty morning air is punctuated with a dusky pink on the sheep and ancient oak.

@Jdcolahan Thank you! Yes, it’s subtle but definitely there. I love winter colours.

@lucycoatswriter it’s probably seen plagues come and go in it’s lifetime
Show threadLucy CoatsJan 10, 2023
@MartinStoermer Yes, I guess it has. I estimate it’s about 400 years old (and maybe older), so it was probably there for The Great Plague in 1665/6. This is why I often wish I had Entish powers and could talk to trees!

@lucycoatswriter The world is always changing, but I get what you're saying...

It's part of why I like trees, they seem to handle the change much more sedately than we flesh folk. Great photo in any case, thanks for sharing... #ThickTrunkTuesday #TreesOfMastodon
