English Oaks...

A change from birds! Here are two very English Oak trees in a very English landscape. The photos were taken when I was staying in a village near Bath recently:


Between the two Oaks, I am placing a not-so-English Copper Beech, in that the trees were ornamental cultivars (developed by horticulture selection- makes one think of GM trees...) from the European Beech in the early 19th Century. This was growing alongside the oak trees, a foil to their bright green early Summer foliage...
