I don't post often, read a lot.

Here's a larch I recently wired.(probably should have waited till foliage fell).

My first full wiring of a tree. I found wiring the apex very tricky and not sure if it's done in the correct way

Edit- tried to add a video of a 360 as images make it look much more 2d than it is but hasn't worked.

You should have. You have interesting trees. Can't see the wire, but you did a great job shaping the tree - including the apex.

One of my favorite small trees I've seen for a while. Really love it. Definitely looks like a very small big tree :) :)

Huge roots i came across on a jog. In Norway.
I wonder who lives inside that big hole in the ground just below my foot. Would you dare stick your hand inside?
