One Tree
Who says we don’t have trees out here? Sure, there’s just the one. And it’s dead. But still.

I’ve said it before now once again, “You poor misguided Westerners “. And I’m sure this won’t be the last time.

And, see, I always feel bad for people who live where there are so many trees that you can’t even SEE the view!

Pfffft. That’s practically a forest.

Yes! In fact, if it had had two or more leaves, it would have met the legal qualifications for a wooded area.

Thanks, Sue. This was a nice find – we wandered down a tiny road we’d never seen before.

yes…and then there are those in limbo, like Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree (my first Christmas reference of the year…yikes)

I used to get Christmas trees from a little place that was, during most of the year, a bookkeeping/tax service, but who sold cut-from-a-forest Christmas trees. They got to know me, and would always save the goofiest, most lopsided tree for me – the Charlie Brown tree, if you will.
I hadn’t thought about that in a long time – thanks for jogging my memory.

A dead tree is better than no tree! And often the dead trees with their twisted bare limbs are more photographic than the ones in full leaf. This was well worth shooting, Melinda.

Thanks, Andy. The late afternoon light and those dead branches made a combination that would have been hard for nearly any photographer to pass up!

You’re sort of starting to sound like someone who lives where there are lots of trees.
