The majesty of trees

Here in England, we are rightly very proud of our woodlands and the magnificent trees that live within them.  Who can not be moved by the mighty Oak, its size, its strength, and its close association with folklore in our land.
The impressive Oak is home to a vast number of life forms, and many have supported life for many centuries, and of course produced many offspring through natural means or by caching of acorns by birds, most notably, the Jay.
Of course it is sad when mighty trees die, however, even after life, their beautiful forms, will continue to provide a home for many invertebrates, hopefully, for decades, or centuries to come.
The photographs here are of a Scots Pine at Thompson, and the beautiful form of a dead Oak at Kimberley, both in Norfolk.  Both remain beautiful aesthetically, and are very important homes to invertebrate species, as well as a number of bird and bat species also.
