This is the European Rowan, Sorbus aucuparia, a small tree typically 4-12 m tall growing in a variety of habitats throughout northern Europe and in mountains in southern Europe and southwest Asia. It has nice red berries. It also happens to be my eldest daughter's middle name. The density of the rowan wood makes it very usable for walking sticks and magician's staves. Druid staffs, for example, have traditionally been made out of rowan wood.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it. -Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring
Beautiful picture & the framing really sets the colors. Nicely done !!

The beer urges me on, the bewitching beer, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.

Great story with the photo and a wonderful use of shortened DOF. Nice shot.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.

Nicely composed and framed. The berries show up well in contrast to the nice dof of pastel color.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance...

Beautiful photo. Wasn't the rowan sacred to the Druids?
