If you’re a friend of mine on Facebook you will know that one
of my photography projects this year is a celebration of trees.
I love trees! Not only are they beautiful to look at, trees provide
food and shelter for humans and for wildlife; trees release oxygen and clean
our air by absorbing greenhouse gases; trees help reduce flooding and water
pollution, and stabilise ground at risk of erosion; and so much more.
To celebrate both the beauty and benefits of trees I intend
posting a photo each day of a tree or trees. If you’re interested, you can see
these photographs in my Picasa album here.

| 30 January, after an overnight dump of snow. Magical! |
I am also going to share my favourite trees in a monthly blog
post – this is the first of those. For January, because we’re in the depths of
winter, it seems appropriate to select a snowy tree scene, and this is one of
the local trees I particularly cherish. Although there are large numbers of
trees here in Cheshire

| 22 January, cold and a little misty |
As you can see from the series of photos here (taken since I
arrived here at the beginning of November 2014), I return often to this tree,
partly because it sits beside one of the walking circuits I most enjoy and
partly to photograph it in the ever-changing weather conditions.
Life’s better with trees!
