Paula, at Lost in Translation, always surprises with new, inspiring tasks. This time I am not sure if I am doing what she is asking for…but I will give ”Once over” a try.
This old tree has been my friend for many years. I have passed by him almost every day, walking in the forest. Every season I admired his clothing and majestic appearance – so I have got many, many photos of him.
Last year he began to seriously decline, and just before Christmas, I realized he had finally given in. The youngest branches sticks out to the right from the top, and during summer, they lost their leaves. So, I knew what was coming. I am grateful for all these years and all the photos of him – he has been standing there since my childhood days.
Oh I absolutely love this interpretation of the theme. That’s the beauty of it – being able to interpret it differently. Your friend fascinates in all seasons. I love the slide show you put together Ann-Christine!
You are very kind – as usual.
It reminded me that everyone and everything has a ”use by” date
True
Sad to see it go. Your story reminded me that trees don’t live forever, so we have to treasure them when they are around. I always thought of that for people; I have never thought of that for trees. Thank you, AC.
Have a great day.
And still, they live longer than we do in general.
Ça ressemble à chez nous! Magnifique!
Ah!Merci!
Farewell old friend 🙂 🙂
😦
such beautiful images of the tree. so sad when they get too old…
Very sad. Especially as he’s been there since my childhood.
Oh, sorry for your nice tree aging. I love them so much and wish they would last forever!
So do I.
Oh, lovely

Yes
