Perfection revisited


Some of you may remember that a long time ago I posted a picture of what I always think of as "the perfect tree".   It's a type of rowan and has white blossom, followed by red berries and then the leaves turn an attractive red before falling.  But more amazing is that it retains a neat 'storybook tree' shape, without being trimmed or pruned.  I love it, and I like its location with Saltaire's Salts Mill in the background.  Being stripped bare of leaves, winter reveals its inner secrets - not just one bird's nest but three, hidden deep in the branches.

    It could do with a cut and trim at the lower right hand side.

    I thought Alan was talking about his hair! lol.

    It's a beautiful tree...all the things I love..shape, blossoms, berries, color...and of course the nests! I love to see the hidden nests in trees when the leaves fall!

    When a tree is as beautiful (in its own way) in winter as it is in summer, it really is a perfect tree!

    Lovely B&W photo. Nice to see the leaves on your link.
    Do you have any photos of the flowers and fruit?
    I wish to show you a photo as a comment. Any ideas how I could? You could send me your email I suppose, but I really prefer the comments box.

    I can understand why it's your perfect tree..I bet it looks beautiful when the berries or the blossom is out. It's a great shape!
