Thank you, Joe Tree

I've only been blipping since the autimn of 2010, but one of my early efforts was this elm outside our flat.

The elm has so far escaped the disease and felling that has taken some of its neighbours.

And in that same period blipfoto has come through its own trials and tribulations, thanks to the wonderful community that Joe created from its inception.

I will always be grateful for blipfoto, the record of life it has nudged me into keeping, the contacts - virtual and real - made, the ideas and worlds shared.

So, once again, thank you Joe.
