thanks Carol, the same thing happens to me here often too, suddenly noticing a neat photo that I missed earlier.

agree, guess it's quite an art being able to do that. certainly catches the eye as you drive past. infact, my DH had to stop and return to the tree, as we had passed it and I suddenly thought "photo op" - some days there seems quite a lot to take pics of, and that was one of them

Thats a wicked good shot,and a very unusual tree as well.
