Aspen, a popular trembler

I just wanted to share with you this beautiful tree as it is a wondrous sight to behold in its autumn splendour.  Aspen is a native tree to Britain and is part of the Poplar family.  The latin name is Populus tremula, so called as the leaves appear to tremble in a breeze (and they make a rustling sound).  In autumn, the leaves turn golden yellow as you can see in the below pictures from a visit yesterday to Kiln Wood:

The leaves have a fairly distinctive shape:

Personally I dont think we have enough of these trees.  But hey ho what do I know.
