The Gallery: trees

Posted on March 16, 2011October 1, 2016 by jenny

The theme for The Gallery had me thinking and looking back through my archives for pictures of trees. My son is obsessed by them and spent the first few months of his life sitting in his pushchair and watching the trees above him. However. before I found a suitable picture I remembered what my husband did at the weekend.

We love geocaching and find it a great way to get out and about. Last weekend we went out for a walk round Ealing and bookmarked a couple of geocaches. One of them was in an unusual place.

Yes, that’s my husband climbing a tree for the first time in his life. Little man and I sat back and watched in amazement but he did it and was very pleased with himself. At least he’ll be able to teach our son when he’s older!

This post was written for Week 50 of The Gallery: trees.

    I spent most of my childhood perched up in a tree, can’t believe this was your husband’s first clamber!

    I got stuck up a tree aged 7 when a nail from an old tree house snagged through my trousers leaving me dangling by my knicker elastic – put me off tree climbing 😉

    Well done to your hubby I now leave this to my kids!

    I love the husband up a tree picture. I can’t believe that was his first time! The first of many perhaps. I still climb our trees. I must check out geocaching too – it sounds fun.
