…thanks to Becca Given for hosting Sunday Trees https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2025/06/08/sunday-trees-589/

Last weekend when we were in Kew Gardens there was a special art installation, honouring the oak tree.

This spring and summer, visitors to Kew Gardens can experience Of the Oak, a one-of-a-kind immersive art installation that celebrates the oak tree as a vital hub of biodiversity. (This is from the website)

This is tho oak tree that was scanned for the digital installation

In London you can’t help but see the Thames if you travel south to the downtown area and if you’re crossing a bridge it is more than likely across the Thames.
