This month’s Square Challenge is all about trees. Now trees are not the easiest of subjects to square up, so Becky is relying on us to show some imagination in how we present them. For the second week I am going to look at unusual trees.
Ai Weiwei’s iron tree
Monkey Puzzle
Bonsai Trees
Grass Tree
White Floss-Silk Trees
Handkerchief Tree
Tree of Life by Michael Chaikin

wow that first sculpture – wouldn’t have guessed iron. Loving your unusual trees
Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It’s a great tree.
ooh don’t recall seeing this one there . I really must go back to YSP such a great place to explore
It was in the church grounds. Going back to 2017 though.
ah not sure we made it there
This is a great selection of unusual trees. The first one is is very striking.
I thought so. Had to use it for the challenge.
Some interesting finds, Jude!
I do my best Sue 😊
Indeed you do
I’m quite taken with the tree of life, Jude.
You will see more of it tomorrow Jo.
The iron tree is wonderful. Everything I’ve seen by Ai Weiwei seems to be different.
Yes, he is quite an exceptional sculptor.
Great collection. I love grass trees. And that iron tree is amazing.
Isn’t it just magnificent? Details of its construction here: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4921572
So clever
Great subject, and I love your interpretations! The metal tree is really amazing! I wouldn’t mind one of those in my garden!
Yes, the tree of Life is just the right size for a small garden, Becky and I have already decided we’d like to share it!
And thanks for following this flower blog. I will get around to writing about the gardens I visited in May! Time just flies by during the summer, I wish it went so fast in winter.
Actually, long before I joined the world of bloggers I came across your flower blog on the ‘net and followed it until you took a break from it. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks Megan. The reason I stopped was because I wasn’t going out of Cornwall so all the gardens I visited were posted on the Cornwall blog. Hopefully I’ll get out of the county more over the next few months.
