A last walk with Solo






















Compare and contrast an old oak tree still bare on my arrival three weeks ago; and in leaf this evening.
A very pleasant evening after the cloud and rain this morning. Still a bit windy (out of the west 10-15mph?). Current temperature about 45°F. I've mentioned Solo - here he is.
A favourite pursuit is angling and most water in this part of Essex is controlled by the Kelvedon and District Angling Association.

    That oak tree is gorgeous! I bet it has a wonderful spirit about it...as I'm sure Solo did! Solo was a beautiful dog!

    It's the elms I really miss; still quite a stand at Hemmingford Grey in Cambridgeshire that somehow missed the ravages of Dutch elm disease.

    Elms! No wonder I like them so! We have two, albeit Japanese, Elms in our front yard. We were told that they were going to die, but with some organic tree spikes and some trimming of dead branches they are healthier than ever. I'd love to see that stand in Cambridgeshire.
