TreeTuesday - Walking through a ginkgo avenue
How many of you know Ginkgo biloba?!
Since I knew it was a living fossil I became fascinated by this beautiful tree. When I found this avenue, I took some photos that I'm sharing today (Wish I could be back and shot some more!)
Ginkgo tree avenue in Terra Nostra Garden Park in São Miguel (Azores island - Portugal) during autumn
This ginkgo avenue will be my contribution for this week TreeTuesday!!
I wrote an informative post about the ginkgo tree 3 months ago (here).
Resuming: Ginkgo tree is the only living species of its genus, family, order, class, and division (Ginkgophyta), found on the rocks of the Jurassic and Cretaceous period (270 million years).
It's native to China, but widely planted as ornamental, being popular in towns worldwide and farmed in plantations for their medicinal properties.
Looking up to its butterfly shaped leafs...
And looking at us!
TreeTuesday tag was launched by @old-guy-photos and it's a great idea to share some of our most special trees photos or short stories!

Beautiful historical places.
Yup, these trees were planted a few couple of years ago, I can't remember exactly but it's an old garden (200 years, I guess).
I think there are 1 or 2 trees near me on a kids playground. They are not as big. But I was fascinated by the shape of their leaves and had to find out what they are. Never saw them before.
And hello you! :D
