Like elsewhere in the world, our elm trees suffer beetle infestations. I adore the wonderful lacy look of their autumn-hued leaves against a vivid sky. I braved the icy wind for a quick walk around with the Nikon D3000. Hoping the wind drops.
Thanks for looking. Stay safe.

Cripes, CJ ! – that is some infestation .. Do you know what it is ?

It’ll be the Elm Tree Beetle. It has devastated the European forests, apparently. The council used to spray here, now and then.

Your very brave to go for a walk. I have been putting off taking Buffy out before I go to the dentist. It got cold very quickly tonight and I resorted to putting on some heat. All the trees are dropping their leaves, looks pretty but very messy & sllppery if they get wet.

We’ve chickened out if the wind is too nasty. Yesterday we picked a route mostly in sunshine and Rob had to take off his gloves!
