Apple Tree Stump and Fungi

Taken in my garden. I was going to take it down to ground level, but it's good for putting wild bird seed on and the insects like it too.

Schitterende opname van deze paddenstoelen, Keith.
Ik zou de boom zeker laten staan en niet tot de grond afzagen.
Ik ben benieuwd hoe de zwammen er uit zagen, toen ze vers waren.
Hartelijke groeten, Frans.

The old apple tree has lost its bark but the fungi is magnificent and beautifully captured Keith.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Jan

Thanks Jan. I was originally going to turn it into a bird feeding table by putting some wooden trays on top, but I eventually decided to leave it "au naturel".

We have only one small apple tree left now!

A good decision to leave it. I bet the birds love it as a fast food place

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Colin Ashcroft ^club

Thanks Colin..............the birds do quite like it. We tend not to feed them at this time of year though, as there's usually plenty of natural food around.

What an interesting arrangement!! I've never seen one like it before. It's like a frilly scarf beautifully decorating the old stump. I'd not chop it down

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Eunice Perkins ^club

Cheers Eunice. I'm really glad we didn't cut it completely down..........it's turned out to be quite attractive.

In der Natur geht nichts verloren. Der abgestorbene Apfelbaum ist Nahrung für den Pilz.
Es tut mir leid, dass du jetzt keine Äpfel mehr ernten kannst, Keith! Aber die Pilze am Stamm sind ein gutes Fotomotiv.

Glad you like this one Wilhelm. Thank you.

I still have one apple tree remaining :-)

A little insect playground. Wonderful shot, great idea to leave it as-is.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Diane Putnam ^club

That what I'm hoping. Glad you like it Diane...........it should last for a few years until it needs to come down.
