Gentle giants..

 

Some of these glorious trees have been around for over a hundred years, the Plane trees around the lake and Moreton Bay and Port Jackson Fig trees on the lawn area definitely have. I have heard Hyde Park described as a 'haven of calm and tranquility'.. how could it not be under the canopy of these magnificent old giants that have grown and developed over all those years.. the air quality alone would give one a bit of a light headed buzz.. or maybe that's just me :) You have been here before and it's possible you will be again, hope you don't mind 🌳 Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. It's Aimee's birthday today and we're in lockdown.. birthday postponed until Saturday :)

    These trees are very impressive with their sinuous roots!
    If they could talk, what miracles would we find out?
    Happy Birthday to Aimee!

    Dearest Grace,
    If only those gentle giants could talk...
    So you are in lock down just like The Netherlands.
    Hugs,
