In the shade of history

 


A while ago, I read an article titled "The 10 Saddest Trees in America." It's since been scrubbed from the internet, but I was extremely pleased to discover a spiritual foil to that tree tome in the UK's annual "Tree of the Year" contest. A brilliant idea! The contest is organized by Woodland Trust, a non-profit headquartered in Lincolnshire, England, and this year, 13 of the UK’s very best trees will compete for the title. These old trees are pillars of their communities (literally), having survived bombings, blight, arson and the creeping effects of industrialization. One shaded picnics held by Queen Elizabeth, and another solemnly presides over a World War I monument. Some are more than 500 years old. No matter who wins, they are all Very Good Trees.

Bears raid Krispy Kreme donuts van

Bears were spotted in the back of a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts delivery van in Anchorage, Alaska, where they ate 20 packages of donut holes and more. CNN affiliate KTUU has the story.

Thanks Elenor. I think if we had more trees in urban areas the atmosphere and living would be better?
