Default Mistletoe, some photos.

After our conversation about mistletoe I went out today and took some
photos of some so those who don't have it locally know what to look for
when they are travelling about in the winter.

These photos were taking in one small area but mistletoe is all around
here, even on some small rowans.

Lovely 'moody' photos, Bob! We see quite a lot of misletoe when we
drive the motorway through Somerset and I wonder if the occasional (!)
flooding round that area has anything to do with it. In the past, in
another garden, I've tried pushing misletoe berries into the branches
of an old apple tree to no avail, so maybe it's fussier than one would
imagine for a parasitical plant.
