thursday challenge ...trees in all their glory...

This post is featured in Blogadda's spicy Saturday picks Feb 19-2011..
  "TREES" (Saplings, Gnarly Trees, Snow Covered, Bonsai, Dead Tree, Shade Tree,...)

If the Thursday challenge says trees , i have so many to set my eyes on.....laden with flowers .... and fruit ... and a few more things ....


A lemon tree ... in all its glory ....take a closer look....


And now see what else it holds....


Got it ?


It is a nest and a family still lives in it... in the next picture you can see one of it's inhabitants..... look at the dead stump of a tree... This a small birdie having a crimson shaded head and golden yellow back . Very shy very chirpy and moves in groups...


And now a gnarled and dead guava tree to which i have hung a bowl of water and a basket of food for the birds.... the squirrel is picking up some bread...


And then she moves to a place to sit and gnaws at the piece of bread ... i make corn bread for them...


And here is a rose bud , as if a princess caught up in a prison....


The prison of it's own thorns.....


And still smiling like the most beautiful and innocent kid....


Thank you IHM for suggesting to post my trees . This is the first time i am posting something for this challenge and thoroughly enjoyed doing this....My plants always make me so happy and they never ask something in return....

There is one more interesting picture of a tree......This is probably the milk thistle , a variety of Euphorbia , I will confirm later ( right now i am in a hurry to post and then go walking :) ).... see , looks like it is on flame....


The top of the tree has turned yellow orange and it looks like it is about to bear gold on it...:)
