From the same walk as yesterday, this is a beech tree in the woods above Beaufront Castle. Half way up there seems to be a creature – at first I thought it was an over-sized bee but now I am not so sure. Suggestions are welcome 🙂 :

Oh, that’s the Great Northern Wood Gnome…
By Jove, I think you’re right 🙂
Looks like the tree is home to a number of slumbering Dryads!
My classical education is lacking Sarah, I had to look that up 🙂
My mum had us reading Fantasy and Faerie tales as youngsters and I still love it 🙂 Funnily enough my favourite butterfly at the Wisley event is called a Tree Nymph!
Fresh water salamander… Excellent photo, you’ve perfectly portrayed the immense character of the tree.
What a splendid word is Salamander – demands a haiku 🙂
I suspect it’s an inverted dragonfly….giant of course 🙂
Darn it, it’s the wrong way up 🙂
I don’t see the bee. For once, I only see a misshapen trunk. 😉
More alcohol required 🙂
Oh… there it is… Such a gorgeous beech tree!
I love it, Robin.
Many thanks Malin, unfortunately not as magnificent as it once was – two large sections came down in the autumn storms.
