Kew

It was a beautiful Indian Summer Sunday, and Kew was a great place to visit.

Of course, one of the best things you can do there is explore the trees... so we did.

A Narrow-Leaved Ash:

Various Mediterranean pines:
Including this Stone Pine:
Various Olives:

Antarctic Beech:
Crataegus Monogyna - 'Pink Corkscrew':
The ancient, supported, heritage, Japanese Pagoda Tree:
