Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell reputedly...

... said "people seldom look up".
I remember a sort of "Picture story", Commando-comic style, where he rounded a corner, shinned up a ladder and lay on it while the "baddies" passed underneath.
Methinks I'd probably have looked up.

An Arboreal Tree.
We had a mini-Blip-meet at "The pheasant" Bassenthwaite (NO software, it's NOT a spelling "misteak", it exists).
Anyway, while we continued to catch up on the crack (Which Derwent lass calls "Craic") I also amused the assembled hounds by hurling sticks for them and, of course, looking up.
Where I spotted a young beech tree 10'-15' up a rather fine Scots Pine. What amused/perplexed me really was how it had managed to stay green with the rather long drought we've just had.
