I won't stop taking tree pictures as I still love the variety, beauty and wonder of trees - in fact, I'm pretty certain that there will be many trees featuring on Window365.
Trees365 - review of 2010
So, 2010 is over, and that means my Trees365 challenge is at an end :o(

Lisibo's 2011 challenge is....
I'm sad to reach the end of my Trees365 project as I've enjoyed doing it. It's made me look more at the world around me and I've appreciated the beauty of trees even more than I did previously.
Often I take for granted the beauty of the area in which I live and work, and how fortunate I am. A conversation with a teacher from a school no more than 6 miles away from mine who told me that her pupils would love even 1/10 of our school grounds really brought this home to me.
So, in 2011, I want to continue to make myself look up and out from my own little bubble and am therefore starting a new challenge - Window on my world 365
a view from a window for each day of 2011. I expect I'll have guest pictures as this year - in fact, I'm encouraging it - and I hope I can keep going as I have this year.
So here's to my new challenge!
I wonder what we'll see through the .....arched window.

My final tree picture!
I chose this one as it features some of my favourite trees on a beautiful day. I may have to post another later on today but I've planned this one as it's been so foggy for the last few days.

Penultimate tree pic of the year!
Taken on my first run in ten days - hard, but it was good to be in my beautiful Country Valley Park.
Trees365 363:365
Another guest tree today as this is so much better than my attempt to take a foggy tree picture.
Thanks José x

A stunning picture from troutcolour aka John Johnston.
I love the magical quality of the the shimmering light, and all the tiny twigs and branches.

Back to Iceland for today's picture.
I actually took this on Christmas Day but it's too good to waste. Look at the sky!
And I suspect there may be a few more Iceland pictures coming soon too.

Boxing Day at Keflavik Airport as we left Iceland.
A beautiful airport, and a lovely tree.
Sad to be leaving Iceland though.
Trees365 358:365
Trees at Þingvellir, the site of the first Parliament in Iceland and also where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates meet.
Trees365 357:365
Some trees in the mini forest on the way up to Perlan in Reykjavik.
Before the snow!
Trees365 355:365
I was challenged to find any trees in Iceland.
Well, here's one!
I know, it's not a real tree but...
(PS there are plenty of real ones too - more of that tomorrow!)
Trees365 354:365
Taken at the Premier Inn Heathrow as we hopefully set off for the airport to go to Iceland.
Would we make it??
Trees365 353:365
On the way to Iceland - somewhere near Warwick I think where we stopped to clean the windscreen!
Trees365 351:365
I went for a run this morning with SEFitness.
The sky looked ominous as we set off and after ten minutes, a blizzard began! There followed an 'interesting' run/slide/walk/pootle as we negotiated patches of hidden ice - I did a marvellous imitation of Bambi on a huge icy puddle, and there were several falls.
But SO BEAUTIFUL! This photo doesn't do the beauty of the moment justice as it was taken on my iPhone whilst running but it gives you an idea!

A beautiful sunrise in our garden, silhouetting the trees.
Jude was worried for the shepherds though ;o)
Trees365 348:365
Another amazing tree found under Creative Commons license.
I have NEVER seen a tree in such a knot!
Trees365 347:365
I love this quirky Christmas tree.
Wish the 'fidgets' would build one of these instead of rubber and ruler towers! Much more decorative!
Trees365 346:365
Today's picture comes courtesy of my friend Niilo - thanks for getting cold fingers for me;o)
Trees365 345:365
The Christmas tree at church, standing by and watching the Christmas cabaret. Got its own pen and everything!
Trees365 343:365
Lovely silhouetted picture of trees by a lake - the one by Boldmere Gate in the park!
Trees365 342:365
Whitehouse Common Primary where I work are involved in an eTwinning project called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that involves exchanging Christmas stars. This is the WCPS tree to display the ones we've received.
Trees365 341:365
A frosty cold morning in Sutton Coldfield - and what a beautiful view from my bedroom window!
I love my garden!
Trees365 340:365
The other half of my birthday present - Jude's interpretation of my commission.
Clever boys!
Trees365 339:365
Today's tree is half of my long awaited birthday present from my boys. this is Isaac's half of my commission!
Trees365 338:365
Today's tree is courtesy of @orunner aka Doug Dickinson who kindly sent me a selection of lovely snowy pcitures via Twitter. I do love big snowy bare trees in the middle of fields!
Trees365 337:365
A lovely walk this morning to the library through the Country Valley Park.
I am so fortunate to live here!
Trees365 336:365
A snowy tree captured as I trudged home from where I'd abandoned the car for Mr S to retreive!
Trees365 335:365
Today wasn't a great day - but it started well with this beautiful view from the classroom window, and finished well with a John Bishop gig.
Trees365 334:365
It has finally snowed more than an icing sugar dusting.
Still not much more than 1cm but it's snow and made the tree at the top of the road rather pretty!
Trees365 333:365
A frosty, but still not very snowy garden this morning.
It was beautiful in the park but sadly it was captured in my eyes not my camera as i was running!
Trees365 331:365
The view out of my bedroom as i got up this morning.
And the day stayed cold and sunny.
Excellent! And long may it continue.
Trees365 330:365
Another beautiful day - very cold but sunny and bright.
A tree on the (goods) railway siding.
Trees365 327:365
Today's trees come courtesy of Andy and Helen Tidy who took this picture on Calden Canal.So beautiful! There'll be another one tomorrow I suspect as they're so good!
Trees365 326:365
These Douglas firs in The Hermitage near Dunkeld are over 60metres tall!Perhaps just as well we decided to cut down the one in our back garden.....
Trees365 325:365
Lots of trees on this roundabout - rather attractive!
And I have to say, often ignored!
Trees365 324:365
Taken in London on Friday.
Beautiful day down there - foggy when I got back to Sutton though!
Trees365 323:365
Seen on Euston Road this morning outside the Santander offices.
Very interesting and unusual!
Trees365 321:365
In our garden, about 7 years ago at Easter. Isaac and his Grandad on the annual Easter egg hunt having just rescued a chick from the apple tree.
The boys miss their Grandad but not as much as I miss my Dad.
He'd have been 69 today.

I was in Edinburgh on Monday and took this picture in Holyrood Park.
Beautiful city - and lovely tree!
