Water tree
When the wind blows, this tree sounds like a bubbling spring. The hulls of the nuts in the upper branches clack together and give the illusion that there is a little spring near by singing its heart out. [I included the second two pictures just so you could see the nut-hulls a little better].
As a matter of course, there are in fact several springs around the property. Some are hiding underground, others have been concealed with the surrounding development, and I believe that a few others are trickling their way through the trees, lost to all but the secretive deer.

Some very beautiful winter pictures here.
ReplyDeleteLiving in Indiana we missed out on the "pretty" of winter this year. Just some cold and hardly any snow at all....
Welcome boneman, and thank you for the compliments. I felt pretty fortunate that we finally received some snow... the way it was warming up, I was afraid it would never come!
ReplyDeleteWe drove through Indiana on our way to Pennsylvania... very pretty countryside!
Wonder what it will look like in the summer.
ReplyDeleteOh me too! I bet it won't even sound the same... :)
ReplyDeleteVous avez trouvé de très beaux arbres.
ReplyDeleteBon week-end.
A@+
Salut Manu - j'attends le printemps et les fleurs des arbres!! Bon week-end :)
ReplyDeleteS'il vous plait, parlez anglais! Je ne parle pas francais! Peut-etre j'ai parle francais un peu quand j'etais en ecole, mais j'ai oublie tout!
ReplyDeleteMerci, et auvoir mes amis
Mais Beekman, vous parlez très bien!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Beekman! Manu is one of my French visitors (his blog has some beautiful photography from France), and I too only learned my French in high school years ago.
Not only do I enjoy Manu's blog, but I admit I love the chance to practice a little smattering of French each week. :) I too have forgotten a lot of vocabulary from my high school days, but with a little help from my dictionnaire Anglais-Français, it's coming back to me! :)
JLB,
ReplyDeleteYour blog has such a serene, peaceful quality to it! I love your descriptions of the trees, and your words make what we cannot see so visual!
Thank you.
Barbara, good to hear from you! I'm so pleased that you are enjoying the tree blog. I have so much fun composing it each week, and it's rewarding to share my love of trees with others. Stop by any time!
ReplyDeleteExcusez-moi, je ne connais pas votre langue. J’utilise la traduction automatique de Google ce qui me permet de lire votre blog, merci d’accepter mes commentaires en Français.
ReplyDeleteSincères amitiés.
C'est n'est pas un problem Manu, j'aime le Français! S'il vous plaît, continuez parler (et écriver) le Français toujours!
ReplyDeleteJ'adore votre langue, et j'aime l'occasion pour practiquer le Français avec vous! :) Merci pour lire mon blog!
Lost to all but the secretive deer.
ReplyDeleteI like that
Hi Tahrman! I hope your trip went well - good to have you back. :)
