A few trees I’ve found on my walks over the past few days. My sister reminded me the other day how they look like upside-down drawings of the inside of our lungs – and they are the lungs of the earth. Isn’t that extraordinary?
Trees are a constant source of wonder to me. I used to be bothered that I didn’t know the names of many kinds of tree, but the other day I realised it doesn’t matter. No need to label everything! They are incredible just as they.
Notes from Ben 
Hi Ben,
I’m a huge fan of trees as well – I think of them as time machines, that travel into the past. Many were standing when the major events of the past 300-1,000 years were taking place.
Here are two webpages I like to look at every now and then:

Hi Kieran,
Wow, thanks for those links, what stunning images! Yes, trees are simply amazing, I think I’d like to take on a tree project like the lucky woman who photographed all the oldest ones in the world!
