A Note About Other Projects to Join in With.
There are now two extra opportunities to leave links to your posts. The dates are spread through the year. It isn't a monthly commitment.
Looking for Wild Plants in the Streets has its own page.
And there's a one for Stuck Foot posts.
It's not possible to leave comments on either page so if you'd like to take part let me know by email
looseandleafy@googlemail.com
or leave a message on a Loose and Leafy post.
And now for your links!
The box will be open from 7am UK time on 7th of August
until 7pm UK time on the 14th
Make sure to leave the URL for your Tree Following post rather than for the blog as a whole and I suggest you write the name of your blog in the box as well as your personal name. (It makes things clearer.)
As ever, comments are very welcome and always enjoyable but by no means obligatory whatever the link box says!
Feel free to use the Tree Following logo.

Thanks for hosting this meme, the year is flying past, August already! I have posted my link to my blog.
Hello Alison. Given the speed of the year and the volatility of the weather, maybe we'll soon have snow!
Interesting to see the resin on your trees. Shame about the replacements planned - round here, when trees are replaced, the council seems to want to go for short ones mostly.
I have just posted my August TF post, Lucy. I don't see it up there yet, but this seems to be the way with my connection. I expect it will soon appear ... Now I'm off to visit these other trees ...
... true to form ... it's just appeared. Thank you, Lucy.
my tree post in(!) in the slow dying days of this summer.
Am interested in your WPIS post too - I gather that will be towards the end of Sept. Will email you
many thanks for hosting
Laura
I managed to skip the difficult months, albeit not intentionally! But I am back following my hawthorn again this month. Feels good to reacquaint myself!
Sorry for no photos this month have a blessing of a day all of you
I'm not sure how we got round to August already- all downhill from here :-(
Hello Helen. The problem with many trees is that they get broken down before they have a chance to grow. Maybe these will be too boring to bother with. (Perhaps it's just as well I don't know what they are. They might turn out to be everyone's favourite!)
Hello Caroline. The delay in your link appearing in the box seems such a regular problem it's almost a tradition. I reckon we can more or less trust it will pop up of its own accord. (Though it's worth checking each time. It would be a shame if it didn't appear.)
Hello Laura. I've added you to the list of people who make occasional posts about wild plants which grow in the streets (http://tinyurl.com/pe3yluc) and yes - there will be a link box for urban plant posts on 21st September.
Hello Janet. I'm glad you've posted about your hawthorn again. Hawthorn is one of my favourite trees - and ivy one of my favourite plants for its flowers and hoverflies. (Incidentally, although it's not the tree you are following - that's a fantastic photo of a windswept hawthorn you've included.)
Thanks for hosting Lucy and sorry that I missed July.
My willow is one of those trucks disappearing into the undergrowth. I would have done too but am not able to get that close up.
Hi Lucy, I've vowed to keep up my posts on Tree Following even if everything else falls to the wayside while I concentrate on the garden and growing my own food. It makes a nice break.
Goodness, that time again. it comes round so quickly. Thank you for hosting the meme Lucy, it is a lot of fun.
Thanks for hosting Lucy. I've learnt a lot and still four months to go!
I am really enjoying following my tree and taking notice of it on a regular basis, thank you for hosting this. xxx
Help! I'm hoping someone out there can identify the problem with my tree. Since I wrote the entry a few days ago, we've had several good rains so a lack of water isn't the problem. No signs of Eastern filbert blight. Or at least not yet. Any other ideas, anyone?
Thanks for the reminder. I hope to do a tree following post on my willow early next week. Flighty xx
I started out writing about my tree ... but then got distracted ;-)
Hi Lucy
My Apples are filling out on my tree, have discovered Brown Rot, and there is just one new flower near the tree, no insects this time round. August is a quiet month, but I think it is just as important to record this as the busy moths, it's all part of the tree's life....

Oh dear, my hornbeam hadn't changed enough for my liking this month, so I ended up looking in the hedge nearby.
Thanks again for the project - although the year is passing by quickly, its days are very full of interest!
Cheers :)
The year really is flying by! I'm busy googling crab apple recipes at the moment, determined to try and make something with all the windfalls this year.
Cathy
Better late than never… phew, just made it!
What you said is true about time passing too quickly. I'm trying to savor it, but only partially successful. Thanks, again, for hosting!
Hi Lucy - I've shared the next installs net of the mystery tree with humongous leaves - it's still a mystery so if anyone reading this knows what it might be I'd be grateful for any clues.
I've not done a specific tree following post this month but I do mention, and show a picture of, the willow in my post today so I have added a link here. Flighty xx
Just in time - again! Wondering if this will be the last month that the leaves on my tree are green.
