There are many beautiful trees making up the woodland walks of the University College of Dublin – Belfield Campus. There are actually 5 walks that were formed through the purchase of old estates with woodland areas dating back to the 1800s, and the subsequent planting of many new trees. According to the campus website, there are now over 50,000 trees in place representing over 75 species. More information can be found here. I am still sorting through pictures from my campus meanderings, but I think this tree is one of my favorites — new growth against an old estate wall, bright leaves and bark on a cloudy afternoon.

Cool!
Looks like a magic tree.
To be honest that’s how it felt standing there looking at the tree, like a magic moment. Glad you like it. 😉

My wonderful grandmother, who taught me to look at the natural world, would often talk about a woman who once said to her, “You’ve seen one tree, you’ve seen them all.” Gram always said it was the saddest thing she ever heard anyone say, and she pitied this woman. Your tree and description made me think of this memory.
That is so beautiful. I LOVE it. ~amy
