wow, that is thick!
I don't think I've ever seen ivy entwined around a cherry tree before.
Such crisp shadows! Thanks for giving me a glimpse of the UK in a unique way!
Wow-I've never seen ivy growing in trees in THAT manner! Usually it is something so big, that the ivy growing on it isn't a big deal.
Nice!
Shadows are like the soul of each living thing that follows it around.
I know so little about Ivy, and see it around here even less. I'm stimulated by your comments and photos.
actually English Ivy has now been declared an invasive plant in the state of Oregon. It chokes a living tree until it dies. It's best to strip the tree of the ivy if possible...otherwise just cut the ivy away from the bottom of the tree.
Alas, the ivy does tent to choke many a tree or shrub. Yet, the underside shadows are beautifully defined, a hint of art under a strong sun. What nature has wrought is an almost climbing weed - a pest perhaps, but a beautiful thing too...Happy Easter!
Hi Juliet,
I have ivy covering one of our olive trees - it really does take over.
Happy weekend
hugs

Lovely sharp ivy shadows. yes. I am wary of ivy twined round trees. Not easy to remove either.
Very nice shadow shots.
You have interesting looking trees! :)
Happy Sunday!

You don't see ivy that thick very often,Happy Easter
I have mixed feelings about ivy. We should have removed some from the house wall this winter, but now it has several nests hidden away inside so that will have to wait.
How interesting Juliet. The shadows take on more importance than the leaves/
Looks like the ivy is taking over! The ivy does have wonderful shadows, great captures! Enjoy your day and Happy Easter!
I love the design of the leaves and their shadows in the first pic ...
the ivy photos look so warm and inviting. nice crisp shadows.
lovely shadows and haiku.
