Care and respect means much more in my opinion. Miles Anne,

We looked in wonder and amazement at some of the specimen trees today. I have to admit to my shame that my tree knowledge is very limited, despite of having grown up around woodlands and always loved them. Although I have a reasonable knowledge of plant names for some reason those of many trees tend to have eluded me. I have some good reference books but find identification often difficult. I must take a pocket guide with me and seriously look at them. Your post reminds me of my father's favourite song about a woodland and the birds therein~~ Anne Miles,

Still a bit away from National Geographic I reckon but I live in hope :) I love watching them but envy the variety you have in your neck of the woods. Miles Melissa,

I am absolutely astonished at your skill at wildlife photography. I just went and found the owl photos. I missed those in my sporadic blog visiting (thanks for the tip-off). I am blown away. Those are SERIOUSLY National Geographic worthy shots. I love the idea that such beautiful birds have a safe haven in your "neck of the woods." We are encroaching on wildlife habitat at such alarming rates that it's tragic. What a treat for us to view such amazing creatures! Thank you, Miles. WOW! Melissa Miles,

I'm never disappointed when I visit this blog, whether the subject is food, birds, wildlife or -- now, trees! Great story, great photo. I've been out of town (and out of the blog loop), camping in Idaho so this post is perfect for my current draw to nature. In fact, I'm in the process (slowly) of doing a blog post on salmon, much along the lines you mention here. What would we do without trees -- and in this case (my blog post), fish? It may take me a few more days to get the post put together, but we're on the same wavelength with our thoughts, Miles. We need this connection to nature to truly thrive. Yes, I wonder what that tree has "seen" in its lifetime. Interesting thought. Good one, Miles! Melissa Wonderful post!

Remember Prince Charles carving his name in that tree? Nice work Charlie. Miles Rod,

Who has taken shelter or rest underneath it, whose carved their names into. Very evocative in my opinion Best Rod Miles,
