I'm participating in the 'Getting Arboreal' challenge I saw on Julie's blog. This tree is behind our house in what we call 'the forest' . . . because it is: no grass, just many many trees, and a steady supply of wildlife. This tree is about 80' (eighty feet!) tall. The acorns are fat and getting ready to plummet onto our deck. Tune in again the week of November 8th for a treat when this baby 'turns' out in her fall splendor (I'm not telling what color she'll be). Better yet, join us and upload your own photo-click here for details. Meanwhile, I'm keeping the A/C on. Summer in Georgia is not over yet!

That is quite a tree!!! One had one like this a number of years ago -- it was here long before we moved into the house and we had to take it down about 15 years ago...fear of it falling onto the house. It was a beautiful poplar which we miss very much -- not just for the shade but the lovely sound it made in the wind!
Wonderful Tree. In AL the wheather is beginning to start the cool down. The trees will begin to change color.. October

What a beautiful banner you have on your blog.
Were you ever able to even find my tree on my blog. lollololsnort I think I posted it at the beginning of the week and then went on to talk about everything else. Oh well, I'm so glad you stopped by. Do you know what kind of Oak tree it is? I'm still learning about our White Oaks, Red Oaks and Burr Oaks. I love them all.

Good ole tree down in Georgia. It looks lovely in its setting.
We are getting a big of nip here in PA.
Just a reminder that the Getting Arboreal: A Nature Collection is up for an update next week. Try to make a post with both your original tree photo and your new tree photo and leave me a comment so I can update the links. Hope to see you then!
