Unfair! How are we supposed to know it's Q. petrea or robur, if we can't see the leaves or the acorns? Mind you, I love the last picture. You must have a brilliant camera!

your right but if you guessed Oak I would have said correct Quercus robor and Quercus petrea do my head in, in leaf its easy or looking at fruit and in bud its almost impossible as for the camera, Jeez I thought it was the photographer you have to give me some credit, (SHHHH think i was lucky Laughing

)
will find something difficult there must be something silver surfer does not know the name of.

Lichens. Oh the fun we had with ident tests on those! We ID'd them in the field, but on test day, we were handed crusty dried specimens. Thanks Dr. Arnott... Mind you, you'd have to ID them yourself as well (shudders).
