Summer Branch Drop - a phenomenon occurring in struggling trees entering survival mode during drought. For #scape day and #BWFri 🌳 We need rain urgently, climate change is real. 🔥🌧️ #ForestFriday #Forests #Trees #ClassicMono #Mono #BNW #Photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #nature #PhotographersUnited
Dead branches of an oak tree in a local UK woodland in Nottingham. When water becomes scarce, trees enter survival mode, conserving moisture and energy. They reduce the movement of water to their outer branches, prioritising the trunk and roots. Under severe stress, some branches may die back or be shed, helping the tree survive.

At the same time, dehydrated wood becomes more brittle. Combined with the weight of dense summer foliage, long horizontal branches can suddenly fail in a phenomenon known as Summer Branch Drop (SBD). Surprisingly, the risk doesn't always disappear after rain. As branches rapidly rehydrate, the added weight can cause weakened joints to give way.

After a week's break from #Bluesky, I am back from holidays in Cornwall, UK. 💦 For #ForestFriday & #scape day, a canopy of one of the UK's ancient temperate rainforests. 🌿🌞🩵 #Nature #Photography #Forest #Trees #Naturephotography #summer #treescape #treeclub #ECK #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited
I always enjoy looking up at the tree's beautiful canopies during woodland walks. Here is one seen in the ancient oak woodland along Golitha Falls in Cornwall, UK where we were on a one-week holiday last week during the heatwave.
Unfortunately I accidentally left my mobile phone settings on low resolution, therefore the quality is not so good. On that day there were tropical temperatures and humidity.

Gnarly oak+birch trees & moss covered boulders for #ForestFriday & #scape day 🌳☀️💚 Padley Gorge, Longshaw Estate, Derbyshire, UK #nature #Forest #trees #temperaterainforest #EastCoastKin #photography #BlueskyNature #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersofBluesky #naturephotography #BlueskyPhotography
In Padley Gorge, ancient oak and birch trees grow along gentle slopes, forming the most wonderful twisted shapes, and in the valley below a crystal-clear stream, Burbage Brook, rushes across rocks. A twisted tree in Padley Gorge. Seen on Wednesday on a fine warm spring day ☀️ 
Trees in Padley Gorge are twisted, gnarled, and stunted due to a combination of harsh environmental conditions, thin, rocky soil, and historical management techniques like coppicing and pollarding. These ancient oak and birch trees grow slowly over hundreds of years, adapting to the exposed, windy environment by growing in irregular, dramatic shapes.

#Lichen #scape for some uplifting colours! 💚💛🧡 They are a symbiotic association between a fungus & a photosynthetic partner - an algae or cyanobacteria, representing collaboration, interdependence & interconnectedness of all living beings. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends #EastCoastKin #Photography
Seen on a local hedgerow. Lichen are neither plant or animal, but a symbiotic partnership.
Because lichens thrive on bare rock and in extreme conditions, they are symbols of resilience and adaptability.
Apparently, they are some of the earth’s oldest life-forms, and can live for over 4000 years!Close-up of lichen growing on a small oak tree in a hedgerow. Close-up of lichen growing in a local hedgerow. They remind me a bit of coral reefs.This close-up of a lichen makes them look a bit otherworldly. The circular structures on lichen are called 'apothecia', the sexual reproductive structures of the fungal partner in the lichen symbiosis.

Intertwined tree trunk(s) seen at Padley Gorge, an ancient woodland in the Peak District with mossy rocks, trees, a brook and small waterfalls. It is a temperate rainforest, one of the most inland examples in the UK, known for its ancient oak and birch trees, high humidity, and frequent rainfall which create the lush conditions necessary for this type of ecosystem.
Padley Gorge is a deep, narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire.
It is a remnant of an ancient woodland ecosystem, home to a diverse range of flora, including rare lichens and mosses.
Key features include the Burbage Brook, which runs through the gorge, and the dense canopy formed by the oak and birch trees.

I like the beautiful imperfection of these #Hazel leaves - for #Bluesky Friday #scape day. 'The Tree of Knowledge', its nuts symbolising wisdom. 🍁🌿🌳🍂☀️ #ForestFriday #nature #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #photography #PhotographersofBluesky #naturephotography #BlueskyPhotography #BlueskyNature #tree

My capture for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #gulls 🙂 Have a good day! ☀️ (See ALT text for locations) #photohour #gull #birds #funny #EastCoastKin #Photography #BirdPhotography #thelittlethings #Blueskykin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersofBluesky #BlueskyPhotography #birding #seaside #bird
A seagull I digitally mirrored twice, so that there are four seagulls flying towards each other. They have striking red legs and are all taking off from a concrete wall. Seen at Whitby beach a few years back. 
 Gull sitting on a steel crane as if in charge of it, or keeping the balance. Seen Mevagissey, Cornwall.
The original photo, uncropped and unmirrored. Seagull in Whitby, seemingly in charge of all food related matters, waiting for easy prey. Ice cream and fish&chips are favourites.
