A great topic - It has highlighted a massive gaping hole in my portfolio. I must get out to the woods more  :) So many beautiful and inspiring images so far!

 

1. A tree wearing a jumper. It made me smile - a lot - when I saw this!

2. Camperdown Elm in Winter

3. Similar to my entry in October's challenge I'm afraid, but a lonely tree in a flooded field (which reminds me- I really ought to try and find out what kind of tree this is!)

This one made me smile, too, because it was done by the two wonderful women who own the store there. I hope you went into Domus. They have wonderful things from all over the world.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't, as we were in a bit of a rush at the time. Sadly I'm no longer in New York :( But will make sure I add it to the bucket list for when I'm next there again! It sounds wonderful, and this tree certainly made my day!  :D

I'm glad that I am not running this challenge.  The images are fantastic.  How could you choose.

I agree, so many beautiful ones.  I love trees!

 

And here are my three.
