You’re under the Mistletoe!
Mistletoe is the common name for a group of hemi-parasitic plants that grow attached to and within the branches of a tree or shrub. It is not only use as christmas decoration but according to herbalist, the leaves and twigs can be use for medicinal treatment for circulatory and respiratory system problems.
Very nice photo of the mistletoe against the blue sky.
Love the photo and that plant is almost like a gift, not only to us that see it, but also because of it’s medicinal properties.
I love to see mistletoe on the tree! This is a great picture.
I wonder if birds ever occupy these pre-fab homes!
Did you get a kiss??
Photo amazing, great shot
Great Shot! Green against blue – nice contrast.
My Dad used to shoot mistletoe out of the trees at Christmas time!
I’ve never seen mistletoe before in the wild. Thanks for the information.
What a fun shot. Stand under the parasite and have a kiss…
Very Good

Nice one for SWF! mine’s up too, hope you can visit. Have a wonderful weekend!
Very pretty interesting about using them for other things rather than kissing under the mistletoe
Nice colors. Really cool when the background is faded out..
GREAT SHOT! Did you get a kiss?
WOW
I look out for this all the time when I’m walking the hedgerows, I have a good frind who is a ‘White’ witch and mixes this in potions, spells, and as you say for herbal treatments. Thank for showing this in Sky watch.
