Daily Theme- August 2023

Seems I didn't have a picture of the dead tree at Ness I was thinking of.  We noticed the other day that they had removed the stump completely which is a shame, environmentally speaking.  It was a very good size.

Talking of removal of dead trees, Chirk suffered a huge loss of a a beautiful tree in a storm a few years ago. I think it was a blue cedar (difficult to remember) all that is left as a reminder is this chain-saw carved seat.  Picture from 2014 so the tree was probably lost in the winter of 2013.  Edit (08:32) - the only picture I have of the tree standing was 2009.

Edit:  a bit off topic but I found these two unprocessed pics from the same day - different camera. Amazing what a chain-saw artist can do.

Overwatered and then neglected.  Better get a pot of spuds on quick before the very last leaves curl up completely.

Though that one could possibly be just a cast off shell, I don't know enough about crabs.

Which grave yard shot? One with both social comment and a spot of humour?

I'm still on dead trees.   At the bottom of the garden at Chirk a Ha Ha separates the garden from fields running down the hill and these fields contain some very old trees, many dead.  I've photographed the fields many times but I've spent hours today trying to find them. Either I'm misremembering or I've deleted them or I am temporally confused and remembering film not digital or....

I could only find 3 images in Lightroom and in each the dead tree(s) is(are) incidental to the scene.
