I was SO WRONG - they are protected by law but there is no law preventing their use. I'm steamed up about this . . .jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-16590578985444191532009-12-11T13:05:09.705+00:002009-12-11T13:05:09.705+00:00Intriguing shots of your sky through Contorta!

Re the circus post of mine protesting about the use of lions for entertainment - is it banned in the UK now, I wonder.

It's botanical name is Corylus avellanus 'Contorta' and it used to be known as 'Harry Lauder's walking stick'. Harry Lauder (1870 - 1950) was a Scottish singer and entertainer in the variety theatres who always carried a crooked stick for every performance.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-46868673842915227322009-12-11T09:31:08.026+00:002009-12-11T09:31:08.026+00:00Those are great photos!
