This towering, neighborhood tree stands on a vacant lot dwarfing the other trees around it. I often wonder what stories it could tell and how it came to dominate the horizon, defying storms and the sawblade. It has a covering of new leaves now, which gives me hope that my country and our democracy will endure through this time of "Trumpian" darkness.
"Trees are sanctuaries, whoever learns how to listen to them, can learn the truth."

~ Winston Churchill
This tree went down in a summer storm a few years ago. Now it looks like a tree man standing out in our field. Especially in a snow storm like the one we had yesterday.

The sky was blue and the leaves green intense, but I decided to turn it into my black and white.

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
What a difference a day makes! After the cold sunrise the day before we had a pretty miserable start to Sunday but it did clear up momentarily in the afternoon. Managed to get this shot as the sun finally broke through.
I couldn't believe my luck when this cat decided to climb up this small snag and sit for a better view of the area. Amazingly some of the afternoon light was still shining through the trees and lit up this beauty for a few moments.
We got walloped with a huge snow storm and a foot of snow a few days ago - even the birds were taking shelter!
Just two trees seemingly on their own sitting on the hillside . I stumbled across these and I just love trees so wanted to grab a capture albeit in the misty rain. This was when we hiked through the mountains in Glencoe.
PS: Away now travelling for the next few days to Phoenix so wont be online much but will try catch up as and when I can my flickr friends.
