Bigleaf maple / Acer macrophyllum on moody day

How interesting, K.....and what a feature to have in your garden....do people come to view it?

You are right Meadowland, it is a feature on our property and makes a statement but .....this tree is way too common here and considered a weed by some as it propagates easily. I pull hundreds of seedlings out every year.

I have a lot of sympathy with old, big, fat girls, Klahanie! It's a beautiful specimen. Can I come and sit in that chair and enjoy the view??

She certainly look a grand dame. Have you any idea how old your tree might be?

It is a fabulous view. Go for it Ange ... the whole island is beautiful and unspoilt and quite wild in some parts 🙂.

Sheila, according to the news today, it won't be any time soon, looking at the potential restrictions on foreign travel which are hoving into view. Just when the travel industry was getting excited...

Please come Anget. I enjoyed meeting Sheilabub couple years ago.

I have no idea how old it is Siris. They do grow pretty fast though.

How idyllic is this picture! Lovely old lady isn’t she, with the secret door and little doll nearby...it’s a story in itself!
The trunk is very rustic with the moss at the bottom and the slightly contorted shape!
I’m guessing I’m going to have to wait my turn for the pretty white chair....

Thank you Kate for your thoughts. There are lovely winter aconites around the base but the flowers are gone now.

I sure can find another chair for you Kate.

😉👍

Thanks for the offer, Klahanie!

what a beautiful tree and view you have.

You are welcome Anget.

Thank you SBG . I do like it here even in the rain like today..
