I am bypassing my UK trip photos for this letter, as the perfect example showed itself the other day.
The root systems of evergreens are very shallow, and often depend on intertangling with other trees in the vicinity for stability to support their bulk. Despite the extent to which the tree on the right is uprooted, its crown still appears healthy. I wonder how long that will be, and how long the tree has leaned as it is now.
When ABC Wednesday reaches the letter X, I always think of two things. X brings out the creativity in all of the participants--it will be interesting to see what is posted. And another round wil l start soon--shall I continue? Probably so--I have been hooked since round two and have not missed a week except this summer while traveling--and I made those letters up.

Perfect snow-touched X. Its so hard to find X's. Glad it comes along once in 26 weeks.
That's an excellent example of an 'X'. That little dusting of snow gives it a touch of glamour.
Yes, X is difficult, but you have a creative solution.

Certainly marks the spot.
I have enjoyed seeing how the trees around our place have been falling this winter! Super great shot btw!!
Those look like the trees in the trail of shadows, but then, crossed trees are not uncommon.
It looks like you've been playing in the snow.
Perfect, perfect!!
It's amazing that such tall, strong trees have such shallow root systems. Great photos! Happy New Year!
Oh WOW! What an extra-special shot! LOVE it! Have a wonderful new year's. :D
I so agree with your comments - X is such a difficult one yet it has sent us all searching to come up with an original creative post - and as ever we have delivered the goods - a true mark of the creativity and resourcefulness of such a fantastic group of people. Yes - another round dawns and I am up gor it yet again. I sometimes think - can this little idea I had go anymore and the resounding answer is always a huge YES! Thanks so much
