These trees are absolutely full and this year there are plenty of berries, too. If the contents were on the shelves in the UK supermarkets they would certainly be the colour of money...
If you are interested in the history, myths and folklore surrounding mistletoe, we have blogged about it before here.
The photos were taken on Monday afternoon on one of our local walks and this was the sky just before we reached home!
The white clouds on the horizon only served to intensify the indigo above.... Despite this, we just managed to finish the walk and get home before the heavy rain descended.... and it certainly descended!!

Unfortunately the sheer weight of mistletoe on those trees will bring them down in the next few years. The druids rated mistletoe from oak trees as top notch, but it's very rare on oaks. It's such weird looking stuff, no wonder there are so many myths about it.
What a sky. I'll bet you were pleased to get back before the rain.
Very windy here, but nothing like the winds further north.
