Sunset through the branches.

Are these trees dead Shirl...no leaves?

No they are in FULL LEAF now karensusan!! This is a bit of an old pic taken earlier in the year.

Wouldn't get the same effect now!!

Ah. Thank goodness...I did wonder!

I had a tree die on me this year!! - well shrub I suppose.
It was one of those Pineapple trees, the flowers really smell like pineapple and it was doing so well last year!!
It was about 4 years old.

That's a real pity! I have five of them, and so far they have been indestructible! I love them and they make excellent screening as they are almost fully evergreen....even up here! mine are just starting to flower now....gorgeous!

I have no idea why mine died. It is next to a big acacia tree, maybe that took all the goodness and water!!!
My neighbour's (she gave me the plant in the first place) is going strong this year!

What a pity. Never mind Shirl. Acacia is beautiful! Perhaps your tree was diseased.

beautiful sunset.... i spotted the ivy climbing up the trees.

It would be nice if we could be caretakers of the trees and keep that ivy under control...

I don't know where you can see ivy Janeplant, I don't even know if these trees have ivy growing up them!!

are the ones right at the far back real far back trees? behind the main tree , thats what i thought my eyes could pick out! when i look at trees out my way at dusk (the trees i know that have that ivy growing on them) thats the kind of form their Silhouette makes...

i do beg your pardon if ive seen wrong :)

lovely capture anyway thats not changed :)

from jane...

Lovely picture, Shirwhirl!

great photo:-) its reminding me that autumn will soon be here, my favourite time of year:-)

No probs Janeplant, you could be right! I haven't walked along by those recently, so there might be ivy.
I took this pic on zoom from my back garden, so they are not that close to me!
Eagle eye you, if there is ivy on them!!
