I took this one while walking my dog this morning

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That's absolutely beautiful!

That trunk looks thiccccccc. Got any upskirt pics?

(If this joke is in bad taste and poorly received, I blame day drinking 🍻)

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There is actually a small shed-like structure right under there, hence the appearance of ungodly thiccness.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity in a timely manner. Though I was kinda hoping for an "OP delivers" moment 😂

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

🤣

We laugh, but a shot of those gorgeous leaves with all sky behind/above them would also be pretty great.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It would! Too bad I took this pic last week, and today it's already cold and snowing. Most of the leaves are gone :(

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Part of what makes fall color so breathtaking is its evanescence. There's something beautiful about the last few bright leaves on dark branches against the snow, too.

Here in Los Angeles there's very few types of trees that turn bright colors; mostly just liquidambar and crape myrtle. And with our hot Santa Ana Winds still coming, and no frost, they often finally turn just in time for Christmas, lol.

My take on your photo. Following someone's advice in the motel pic thread.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thank you, that's gorgeous!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Almost looks like an explosion

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Is good tree.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Ooo it’s a good one 🫨

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Trees like that are the best, when they are in someone else's yard.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I have a very similar tree in my yard (not as pretty, but same size-wise), so I know what you mean. Leaves for DAYS.

[–] spez_@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I chopped down all the trees in my yard after I bought my house. I've put concrete in the backyard

Seal in those nutrients make sure they don't escape.
