#trees I feel Mastodon is a more sympathetic home for random #nature stuff than anywhere else in the world of da socials. Here’s the first of some occasional #treeoftheday posts. This beauty is in #MaryonWilsonPark in #Charlton #London. As you walk down the path from the Thorntree roundabout it’s on your left. Enjoy. #treesofmastodon
