There are two huge lime trees in my garden. This was taken whilst lying under them, looking up into the canopy. Click to enlarge.

This is a beautiful shot! How wonderfully lucky to have such a beautiful place in your own garden!
The trees are full of birds’ nests too. Trying to have a nice quiet read today under the trees and the noise the blackbirds, wood pigeons and magpies were making was ridiculous! It’s like a bird housing estate…

Honest to goodness lime as in the fruit, or some other definition of lime?
No, not like the citrus fruit lime tree but this one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilia_cordata
It’s also called a linden tree.
They are huge – each one is taller than my three story house (and a bit close for comfort!)
Thanks for the explanation! I was going to start being envious at the limes you’d get from this tree. 😉
