    Beautiful photos and fantastic colours and amazing shapes of the trees, strongy. I particuarly like the Euonymus Hamiltonianus, very pretty and just love that huge tree trunk in the last photo.

    Maybe I'll be able to capture a few from here later in the year or early Spring.

    Thanks for sharing.
