Really cool temps on the Mid-Atlantic.
It was in the 50's last night.
Weird. I don't remember such an all around temperate summer period.

Anyway thoughts of fall are early this year.

I have a thing for Aspens - any of several trees of the genus Populus having leaves on flattened stalks so that they flutter in the lightest wind (quaking aspen)

Hi Missy Node!!
It's been unseasonably cool all summer here too -- not one day above 100 and only a couple around 95, not normal at all.....

The trees are just starting to turn color here (these aren't photos of MN) ~

Thank you for posting those! I have been staring at the barking knots for 10 min or so.

The one that draws me in, is #3 in your first post. That is a magical tree. And a special place. Pretty speechless about that one...

i remember a copper beech tree outside my grade school - a WEEPING copper beech! you could duck under the lower branches and play in there, no one would ever find you if they didn't know where to look, the foliage was SOLID, and the diameter of the space was about 20'...heaven.

my sister spent years in therapy trying to remember her childhood...and all she came up with basically was being up in a tree somewhere...great friends they were to us both!

thanks for all the gorgeous pictures!

I adore trees.
Over the years I have photographed everyone in my life, friends, family, acquaintances hugging a tree.
Some of them are like "No I absolutely refuse"
And then I say "Go on you'll find one you want to hug"
They do and now I have made a collage which is a giant tree with pics of all my tree huggers as the branches.
It's fab!
Even the disgruntleds admit it's great!

The trees that i would love to see, smell and touch are
A snow covered pine tree!

Running around an apple orchard and savouring the apples.

frankincense trees each producing a slightly different type of resin.

Sandalwood trees of india..which smell divine!

"All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman
