Tree time

 See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is looking for colourful trees or flowers

The Memorial and Square, Broughton by Martin Collie (1945-2007)

The artist's paint has magically disappeared all the cars that usually park here. The sky is clearing after rain and the chestnut tree is changing into its autumn colours. (Happily we are in May and the chestnut trees are in full flower at the moment). This 18th Century square was built by the Lord of the manor, Gilpin Sawrey influenced by the fashion for squares at the time.  The obelisk was erected in 1810 for the Jubilee of George III.  The yellow building is the popular Manor Arms. A warm log fire in the winter and drinks outside in summer and also today with its pleasant 18℃

I love trees, so all images with tree are beautiful to me. I like the style of the Finland postcard!

Almost one for every season! But I guess these trees are wonderful all the year round.

I'm glad to see an obelisk for a happy occasion, rather than a sombre one. The idea of leaves going out in a burst of glorious colour is so very pleasing. The Finnish whimsical forest is charming.
