Hollow Tree

By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/06/2013 • ( 7 )

Down around the corner where the chickens and the cows live, there stands an old hollow tree.

Despite it’s obvious age and condition, it still is sending forth leaves this spring.

If I were as old as that tree, I don’t think I’d be producing any leaves. Old man tree is nothing if not determined and durable!

Wonderful photo and observation. Life is dominant, wouldn’t you say? Lovely and poetic. Warmly, Tasha

  Thanks. I do wonder how the tree keeps putting out new leaves. It’s a triumph, isn’t it.

  It’s quite sturdy and doesn’t seem the least bit wobbly. And still making leaves.

I think I heard Mr. Tree call me, “Young Fella”.
