Lone Tree

On this mild March morning, this lone tree stands against the blue sky. I don't often venture on this road to get into the city, but when I do, regardless of the season, I enjoy this 'lone soldier'. Growing up, a tree like this was meant to be climbed or attacked with nails, hammer and boards for a treehouse. These days, I'll stick with just gentle admiration from a distance. This tree is on the verge of changing soon, with buds breaking out all over. Life pushes forward.

    A few moments ago I heard a bird singing outside my office window. Now the rain has started to fall on our slate roof. Hopefully it will slowly wash away the four feet of snow standing level in our yard.

    There is something very special about the view of a tree.

    In a warmer season, it looks like a nice place to read a book under. With this season, makes for a nice scene.

    Yes, the subtle changes that bring on the Spring are wonderful to discover.

    It is a pretty tree, Bird. Now we are expecting you to visit this monthly through every season.
