These two trees in a nearby field endure the different weathers of winter, spring, summer and autumn, year after year, often for hundreds of years. You have to admire their strength.
TRAVEL WORDS 
Oh I absolutely love this Jude 😀 Wonderful!
Thanks Sarah, I really must try and get one in autumn colours, unfortunately last year it was too wet to go out and get a photo. I shall keep my eye on them this year.
I’m always looking out for the perfect tree to do a project like this but I can never find one that’s accessible! A stormy skies look and snow scene would be great too 🙂 It’s perfect for “Endurance”!
Noted! I have some lovely trees in the snow, but not these two. Must.try.harder. 😉
Me.Too.Me.Too 😉
I think you did very well the the Dahlia! 😉
I have some even better autumn flower images to come 🙂
Nice to think how long they have stood there, and what events have passed by them during that time.
Regards as always, Pete. x
Oh, yes, if only trees could talk.
It’s wonderful that you’ve stood in the same spot each season to take these wonderful photos of endurance. 🙂
It is such a lovely rural scene, I need to go back over the next few weeks and get some more photos.
❤ ❤
Oh fabulous, wouldn’t it be great to record them for years and years?
It sure would!
Great take on the challenge, Jude 🙂
I love trees… thought about a large oak, but decided to go with the 4 seasons.
And it worked!
Great pics!
Thank you!
Plus, I have to admire your idea, Jude ! – you never make a single post that hasn’t been thought out and presented carefully.
What a blogger you are ! 🙂
Ah, you are so kind M-R. I do try to think about a challenge, nice to know that is noticed 🙂
Excellent idea Jude. I keep meaning to do a 4-season view of our marsh grasses but never quite get around to it 🙂
Thanks Tina. I need to capture the trees in their autumn colours – the autumn shot does have colour in the background, but by creating the collage I have lost that. I’m keeping my eyes on the leaves now!
What a treat to see these trees through all four seasons. Thanks!
I love the shape of these two trees, have to get in the right position though!
Will you be able to endure the loss of a landscape you know and document so well when you move on? I love the fact that you have known these trees through so many changes.
I’m always moving on. Longest I stayed in one place was 18 years and I was so busy doing a degree, working, bringing up 4 children single-handed that time flew by and I wasn’t into photography then. I feel ready for somewhere new.
