TiffHave to say that <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/thicktrunktuesday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thicktrunktuesday</a> is definitely one of my favourite hashtags.

TiffThe aftermath of Storm Eowyn. If news sources are correct, this is the oldest, tallest tree that was lost in the storm. Even half gone, it's still a giant. Far from the only loss, though I imagine everything has been cleaned up significantly as it's been some time. The remaining trees that have fallen and still remain are ones I think are going to be left, which is an idea I like. It'll be fascinating to see what they do regardless.<br> <br> Taken on an Honor X6b<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/outdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botanicgarden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botanicgarden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/trees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/redwood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redwood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/storm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/restoration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restoration</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/phonephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phonephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amateurphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amateurphotography</a>
TiffAnother textural fascination, this one a hundreds of years old pine of a variety which, sadly, I cannot remember.

TiffGiven what the light indicates of the weather, I'm inclined to say that this one is from a trip to the botanic gardens. Not only is it rare for my local woods to get such vibrant lighting, but I think this particular kind of pine is different to the growth of my local patch as well. I'm long overdue a trip back to both places, really.<br> <br> Taken with some sort of Sony Xperia, probably, approximately two to three years ago.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/plants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/trees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botanicgarden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botanicgarden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/closeup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#closeup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/green?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#green</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/phonephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phonephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amatuerphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amatuerphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a>
TiffMore flowers! I think these ones definitely were from a trip to the botanic gardens. Again, I should know what they're called, but I cannot bring it to mind. Still, they're bright and they're pretty and they're a reminder that while the world is grey right now (in the northern hemisphere anyway), both spring and those vibrant colours aren't far away.<br> <br> Taken on a Sony Xperia of some sort (about three-ish years ago)<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/plants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botanicgarden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botanicgarden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spring?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spring</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/phonephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phonephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amatuerphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amatuerphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/positivity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#positivity</a>
Jon Sullivan<p>When we visited the Christchurch Botanic gardens recently my daughter took me to this ancient ivy, her favorite plant in the gardens. It has some terrifically twisted, creepy H. R. Eiger vibes. </p><p>It grows up the side of a giant sequoia tree that was planted in 1873. I expect the ivy cannot be much younger than that as its base is completely smothered by large sequoia roots.</p><p><a href="https://inaturalist.nz/observations/260229137" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inaturalist.nz/observations/26</span><span class="invisible">0229137</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>botany</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/vines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vines</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nz</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Christchurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christchurch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/BotanicGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BotanicGarden</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/ivy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ivy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/ThickTrunkTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThickTrunkTuesday</span></a>.</p>
