Krissy's subject this week for her photo shoot is "old". One of my favorite things in the whole world is trees. I love to think about the history of a tree. When was it planted? Did anyone climb its branches? Sit under its shade? They fascinate me - as if they almost have a soul. I love crooked branches and weeping branches. The colored leaves in the Fall really move me! Today I have two trees for you. They must be quite old. The first has a knotty tree trunk. It lives in a local park. I am sure a lot kids have played in its shade as it is next to a playground.
The next tree I have for you is a tree that is across the street from my apartment. I have shown it to you all a couple of years ago. It is called my "V Tree". It stands in front of a church that's about 200 years old. When I go outside it screams my name. It also yells other "V" words to me. In the Winter it is a perfect shaped V with very few branches coming out of it. Here it is in late Summer full of green leaves getting ready to turn its Fall shades.
I hope you enjoyed my "old" pictures! If you would like to play the photo shoot stop by Sometimes I Think. Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteLoved your pics! My favorite tree lives in my OLD house which is named "Q-Tip" it was a baby (just freshly planted) when we moved in and it grew with us and let me tell ya...if I could have paid to get it uprooted and moved with us without killing it I would have! I tried!! I did! I miss it SO much...it was 13 years old when we moved.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.

ReplyDeletewhen i moved into my home it came with the most beautiful cherry tree out back and i loved that tree, my kids use to love to pick the cherries off it every season unfortunately we had some bad storms and the tree got destroyed it was a sad day for me when we had to finish cutting it down
take care, Chrissie
I love old trees also and you picked some great ones. I would definitely have climbed it as a child.

ReplyDeleteGreat choice!

Great pictures. I love your view. It seems so soothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the first picture! There is something about knotty tree's that regal you with age. Perhaps it's as a human wrinkles, the tree becomes more knotted with time. (Hugs) Indigo
ReplyDeleteThose tree pictures are so cool! We have two tall trees in our backyard that I absolutely love. They were probably there 20 or 30 years ago when my neighbourhood was first built.
