This week Ailsa´s challenge is «Foliage»…
It was a good excuse to visit a wonderful centennial beechwood near our house, in Ciñera, León.
I will do later a complete report of the walk but, by the moment, here is my contribution to the challenge…
The jewel of the crown is this beech tree: 500 years old, 23 m high, 6,32 m perimeter…
But beauty is everywhere, even on the small little things…
If you want to see more nice things, please, visit Ailsa´s place:

Lovely photos.
Hello Judy!!!
Thanks a lot !!
I really loved your fhotos of your favourite place…The colours are great!!!
Beautiful ! The second, third and fourth pictures are oaks but I do not know what tree it is in he last picture … I’ll go visit Ailsa’s backpack to find out…
Do not know….The main place is full of beech trees, and then you have oaks, pines, different bushes…And lots of birds….The landscape is wonderful….Pure nature…
Very nice – love all the close-ups of the leaves!
Thanks a lot! I enjoyed very much your post…I am short sighted, so I can understand you!
😉
The beech tree is indeed a jewell, but the greatest wonder is the sunlight onto the leaves – especially the second picture, breathtaking!
Thanks a lot!!! I was just inside the tree, between the leaves..And when I saw it….I had to take the pic!!! No photoshop!!! C. said that the «normal» walk takes 1 hour..Except with me…It takes at least 3 hours! But it was such a wonderful place!!!
Yes, it looks like an enchanted place – looking forward to your post about the entire walk 🙂
