What more fitting place for my final entry in Becky’s Square Tree Photo Challenge than at the Morton Arboretum. I close this post, as I very often do, with a picture of my dear mum. She was always up for any jaunt that I might suggest and I know she really enjoyed our visits to the Arboretum. Thank you, Becky, for this wonderful challenge.

I would enjoy a visit to that arboretum too!
I’m looking forward to my next trip there, Tom. They have a very interesting sculpture exhibit called Human+Nature which should provide some good opportunities for photography.
I look forward to seeing the resulting pictures.
Beautiful gallery and lovely photo of your mum 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words, Alison.
Trees are so majestic aren’t they. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Diana. Yes, I agree. Trees are awesome!
A wonderful ending to your tree challenge. A whole forest of magnificent tree photos to enjoy and a charming photo of your mum perfectly posed in a woodland setting.
Thank you so much, Marianne. Mum always felt very self-conscious when I posed her for pictures like this but I’m so glad that I have these shots of her enjoying our trips together.
oh these are stunning. What a wonderful post, and the photo of your mum is gorgeous
Thank you, Becky! I really enjoyed this challenge and am looking forward to the next one.
Yay! You’ll really like the next theme
