I can't imagine not being surrounded by trees. Where I live, in the area next to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, USA, trees abound. At a distance, they look like large mounds of broccoli. LOL. The color changing in the fall is glorious. As I look out of my window just now, the green is lush and adds a softness to my view.
Enjoy your stay in England, where I am sure you will walk among some giant, ageless beauties.
What a magnificent tree ... it has been so long since I've seen lovely bluebells ... glad you are having good times. "Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience." Hal Borland
We're on the same island! As Tony says, come north next time, but have a fabulous time in Devon - wonderful county. Though in truth, they all are. Glad you got here in time for bluebells, and keep feeling those trees.
My favorite book growing up was The Giving Tree and I had a magnolia outside my window that was my giving tree - I would sit in it all day as a child and swing from its branches and when I was older I would use it to sneak out of my house! HAHA!!!
That green moss looks very touchable. I've just realized, reading this, that the bluebells have gradually faded away. They more gently than some flowers -- my peonies, for instance.

To our ancestors, trees were sacred. I wish they were still. To me, they are.
There is something so life affirming about greenness...
I do hope you will be having plenty of Devonshire Cream Teas with lashings of the world's best clotted cream? V x

Isn´t it weird that there are people for whom "tree-hugger" is an invective...?!

Now THAT'S a mossyback tree.
Welcome to Great Britain. Hope you have a lovely stay here and that you find traces of your ancestors.
We have lovely furry trees in Britain.

breath in green.
I feel refreshed just looking at this photo. My eyes can almost feel the texture.
love what Eva wrote--and agree

I feel 'em too! Great shot Susan.
Oh, bluebells...
Reminds me of the scene in "I Capture the Castle," when the young heroine Cassandra goes into the woods carpeted with bluebells...
I bought Bluebell perfume in England (expensive! by Penhalilgon) because of that scene, but it smelled like bug spray.
that'll make a tree hugger out of you!
heerlijk!!!!!
Lush and lovely. No one could blame you.
