Now that is one TOUGH Hawthorn!
D’you know about Hawthorn, David?
It’s a blood pressure regulator; listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference…If this one doesn’t look like yours, there are three pages of listings at the bottom of the page to choose from 😉

Yes, hawthorn is one of my favourites with its twisty branches and characterful trunk. They have been planted in hedges in the UK for centuries and there are superstitions about them – like never bringing the May blossom indoors and not changing to summer clothing until the blossom is out.

They are such a wonderful host species… A fortress for nesting birds: )

Fortress is a good word, with the thorns 🙂

Yes, physically; but also metaphorically speaking – the way they’re often the lone species standing in an open pasture…
-
Yes, it is so.
I put another post up – another Hawthorn – one for Deb Weyrich-Cody. 🙂
-
Really!? Hmm…
-
Yes, it was your appreciation of the hawthorn that led me to find and post the hawthorn image in the next post. 🙂

I did look, but it hadn’t loaded yet…
But, I shall look again as soon as I get a another chance; ). Thanks David!: )

This is quite delightful-I like the interplay of twisted and textures and light and darks-
