Then for no reason starts again. When you disappear I have tried unsubscribing and then subscribing again to see if I can kick start it but no luck. Anyway, at the moment you are arriving regularly so happy days. xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-52656815562452686522014-06-20T14:08:33.726+10:002014-06-20T14:08:33.726+10:00I have seen many trees that have grown leaning to ...I have seen many trees that have grown leaning to one side - usually it is because they live in an area where the wind is strong and thus the trees grow at an angle because of the frequent windy conditions. Very common on the coast of England and British Isles for example - not only on the coast though it can happen on the moors or any exposed area.<br /><br />Yes I do cross stitch but haven't done for some time - QUILTING is my main hobby right now - and a little dressmaking for granddaughters.<br /><br />Not keen on herbal and fancy teas I like black tea - standard tea that the English drink by the gallon - I am English and a Canadian citizen living on Vancouver Island.<br />Pauline<br />perry94022 at hotmail dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-39177024341976637012014-06-20T05:42:03.479+10:002014-06-20T05:42:03.479+10:00Never seen a whole forest, but in the North of Hol...Never seen a whole forest, but in the North of Holland all the trees are blown from west to east so they are all leaning!

Awhile back I used Explorer as my browser and started having problems leaving comments plus many of the blogs weren't loading properly and looked weird (this did seem to happen after Google made some changes). Anyway, I finally dowloaded 'Chrome' and began using it as my browser. To my surprise and happiness, blogs loaded perfectly and commenting was no longer a problem. Perhaps some of your followers are having some-such problem. At least, it is something to check into.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-65639055966705956162014-06-19T11:15:47.512+10:002014-06-19T11:15:47.512+10:00Thanks Jenny,

At the mouth a canyon where you turn to head up into the mountainns near where we live, a strong wind blows from the east at all times, straight down the mountain pass. Your Copse of trees reminds me of the trees at the entrance to the canyon. For about 1/2 mile along the river all the trees grow, leaning at about a 30 degree angle westward. Both small and large lean at exactly the same angle and it is a bit un-nerving to drive between them along the highway. It gives one an odd feeling of vertigo, LOL. But still, it is amazing to see. Thanks for sharing your photos Jenny, I always enjoy them.
