| Beautiful old oak near a creek |
The big old tree is still there, but the house in the photo is gone now. A Mennonite family owns the property, and, having outgrown the little house, they built a big new house several years ago and tore the old house down.
Their garden has grown with their family, and some of the garden has now extended pretty close to the old tree. I hope the cultivation is not tearing up the feeder roots of the tree.
I don't own this tree, but I have an affection for it, and I wish it a long and healthy life! That's why I am concerned about its well-being!
I adore trees. I have sketch notebooks full of trees that I have drawn over the years. There is something very peaceful about being out in nature (or even a city street) and drawing a tree. I send happy thoughts towards this lovely tree and hope that it's roots are firm and it will be allowed to live out many, many rings. :) Glad you are back to posting again. Missed you. Hope you have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that studying and drawing a tree is a very "zen" activity. Thanks for the welcome back!
