Earlier this week I took advantage of the National Lottery #ThanksToYou offer to get free entry to Kew Gardens in London. When I arrived, I was asked if I wanted to go on a free tour of the garden's oak trees with an expert. Naturally, I said yes.
There are apparently about 500 species of oak (Quercus) in the world. Some of them don't look much like English oaks at all, but they can be recognised because they all produce acorns. The leaves in picture above are from the scarlet oak, which go that beautiful deep red colour in autumn.
The National Lottery #ThanksToYou offer lets people with a lottery ticket get free entry to a huge number of different places that you normally have to pay to visit. It runs until December 1, so there are still a few days left. You can find out more here: https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/life-changing/project-thankstoyou-25-years
On each Pagan Eye post, I show a photo that I find interesting, with a few words about it. I'm not quite sure what I'll be including - it could be a seasonal image, a pagan site, an event, or just a pretty picture.
If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself and you must confirm that you are submitting it for A Bad Witch's Blog.
