It's March already, it's unbelievable! So here we go for another Theme Day! VDP loves this Lebanon Cedar, always has. It stands proud and tall at the edge of Marie-Antoinette's estate at Petit Trianon castle in the palace grounds, is believed to have been planted by botanist Bernard de Jussieu (1699-1777) and VDP thinks it is ageing rather well!

Le thème du mois de mars de la communauté des blogueurs City Daily Photo est "vieillissant ou vieillissement". VDP adore ce cèdre du Liban. Il se dresse, beau et fier, dans le domaine de Marie-Antoinette au Petit Trianon. On pense qu'il a été planté par le botaniste Bernard de Jussieu (1699-1777) et VDP trouve qu'il vieillit plutôt bien ! Pour voir toutes les participations au thème de la communauté, cliquez ici. Bon mois de mars !

That tree has a whole lot of history. What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is and it's lovely. If it could only talk, we would probably hear some wonderful stories!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, VDP. It is aging perfectly.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tree! Sometimes I try to imagine what such old trees have already seen! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good choice for the theme, Ciel! I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteGoodness! Does that mean this tree could be over two hundred years old Ciel.. doesn't look a day over one hundred. It's a beauty, long may it thrive.
ReplyDeletethe year is whizzing past isnt it
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the first shot
Beautiful choice.
ReplyDeletelooking good for 205+ years old .. while on vacation we visited the angle oak near Charleston South Carolina in the USA .. the angle oak is 500+ years old and shows it's age .. also, while on a different vacation we visited a very old banyan tree in Hawaii .. these aging trees have beauty and a power to touch those who visit them
ReplyDeleteWhat living thing ages more gracefully than ancient trees?

ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome fellow. I hope to look that good at its age.

ReplyDeleteIt looks quite healthy, for 300+ years old.
