Birch

Birch is the name of any tree of the genus Betula, in the family Betulaceae, closely related to the beech/oak family, Fagaceae. These are generally small to medium-size trees or shrubs, mostly of northern temperate climates. The simple leaves may be toothed or lobed. The fruit is a small samara, although the wings may be obscure in some species. They differ from the alders (Alnus, the other genus in the family) in that the female catkins are not woody and disintegrate at maturity, falling apart to release the seeds, unlike the woody cone-like female alder catkins.

The common name birch is derived from an old Germanic root similar to birka. The Proto-Germanic rune berkanan is named after the birch. The botanic name Betula is from the original Latin.

Birch is used as a food plant by the larvae of a large number of Lepidoptera species, see List of Lepidoptera which feed on Birches.

The birch is considered a national tree of Russia, where it used to be worshipped as a goddess during the Green Week in early June.

Hi Heinz,
Wonderful landscape, portraying great solitude. The two trees swaying in the cool wintry breeze gives to much pleasure to the eyes. Superb capture.

Hello Heinz!

Another calm and beautifull picture from your serie with trees and wide open composition. I like birches very much, they're one of my favourite trees. Foggy colours and nice looking silhouettes of trees. Good work my friend!

Hi Heinz.
You are really poet. And this shot is a really poem for this lone tree. BRAVO.
Great expressive subject and perfect skillfulness of its realization. Delicate contours, lighting and colours, impressive combination of the green and grey tones. Superb artistic work. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.

When few things makes a great shot!
The power of semplicity!

I LOVE THIS ONE !!

Hallo Heinz,
sehr stimmungsvolles, in zarten Farben gehaltenes, schön komponiertes Winterbild der windgebeugten Birken, besonders eindrucksvoll auch der Kontrast zum schneebeladenen Vorjahr.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

Hallo Heinz,
I am still looking for a single tree to capture throughout the year, but without any luck. You seem to be able to find them so easely and then you capture them so beautifully.
A wonderful composition with great exposure and color. Especially the condition of the sky is good.
TFS,
Niek

Hallo Heinz,
Die Kargheit dieser Lanschaft gefällt mir sehr. Und die Birken sind meine Lieblingsbäume. Es kommt mir vor, als ob man den Wind spüre. Sehr schön komponiertes Bild.
Und noch ein gutes neues Jahr.

Hello Heinz,
"Only two" - So simple, and yet so beautful!!It is quite unusual to see birches on their own like this. In spite of the dull grey sky it is very effective.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
