In British/American culture, Halloween is perhaps most associated with the supernatural. Yet, in much of Europe, the evening of 30 April was also "when spirits and witches were thought to roam abroad". A great read by @odavies9 on Walpurgis Night 👻👻👻 https://t.co/aOGdpXNQml

I love all trees, especially when I see one that is very, very old. I always wonder how it survived, and what it has seen in its life. I wish the tree could whisper to me all it knows!
