Description
In summer the leaves of the trees cover the mistletoes but now in winter they are clearly visible. The sticky berries that come in contact with the bark of a tree - usually carried by birds - penetrates the wood and roots itself firmly in it, from where it derives its nourishments.

Such a view with 35mm? Great! I can't help feeling beeing in Africa. Don't know why.

clapping This is just the view i love...looking upward!! wonderful to look up into such a blue sky!! the song "stairway to heaven" immediately comes into my mind! i guess those mistletoes remind me a bit of steps! and they also remind me a bit of decorations on a Christmas tree!! this tree is very playful says "climb me!" crunch crunch sure is a lot undergrowth out this way! what a joyous capture with a wonderful perspective, jan-carel!! now, i shall finish my search for wild berries here. where's rita???? oh, there you are silly girl!! hey, rita, what's the purple stuff all over your mouth???? peeks in basket hands on hips hey, where's mine???? *grabs her hand, come on girl, let's go find cindy and see if she'll help us look!!! Maybe SHE won't eat all our treasures!!! What a fun image to be inside!!!!! :)

A tree under attack and fighting gloriously. Sic Semper Tyrannis!! Sic Transit Gloria Mundi! Winter, of course, is a difficult time so surprise is complete.

Nice mistletoe, Jan-Carel, but in the middle of winter, it would difficult to persaude one's partner, to stand under it. And with all that mistletoe do lovebirds have to kiss for hours?? Just being whimsical again. Regards, John.

A fantastic shot again, Jan-Carel! The tree looks great against the wonderfully blue sky!

So unreal but so realistic. A simple tree but the complexity of life... We've got very strong symbolism in this picture!

So the misteltoe will eventually kill the tree then? How nasty, like a parasite! This tree looks ancient...Love this 'looking up' angle. Beautiful and informative, perfectly captured =)

Strange visitors, those mistletoes and this tree has lots of them. To many I think.. But.. it makes your picture a special one.
