February tree

I have returned to this tree several times over the winter but have not been very happy with the results so today I was determined to get a picture of it with the snow. Church this morning so by the time we got there the snow as disappearing fast but I am happy enough that this shows this curious tree in winter.

It is in the St Ives Estate in our village and I first photographed it in September when it was heavy with late summer fruit. September tree

My second photograph was in November when the autumn colour was clear and the leaves were falling, showing more of the tree's strange trunk. November tree
