The oaks still stand!

Sad day for this big oak tree which was one of my favorites, you can see from one of the pics where I used to climb up and sit in the middle of it. Now the old oak tree has been shattered from a massive fallen beech tree after the storm we had. It looks like the oak tried to catch the beech tree and is still holding onto it. Cant believe though that the oak is still standing and the base of the oak is still looking strongly rooted into the ground, it hasn't budged one bit! As I've been out and about observing the forests after the storm I can see why the Druids called the oak the king tree. Not one veteran or ancient oak tree have I seen fall, not even slightly moved at all. All of them are firmly into the ground. Druid is also supposed to mean oak. The oak was a very sacred tree to the Druids and was a place of worship for them, I can see why. Most of you probably know that I have a selection of oak trees growing from acorns collected from many of the oldest oak trees...
