Okay, here comes a weird admission: I am in love with trees.
Their gnarly trunks, their branches, and their leafy attire all fascinate me.
Whether it's spring, summer, fall, or winter, trees are special and beautiful.
Whenever a tree gets cut down, it saddens me. We had two trees in our front yard when we bought this house. One of them began to die. Consultation with a tree expert revealed that the tree was not going to make it.
Still, I refused to let my husband order its demise until branches started falling down on my head. A couple of times they really hurt. The brick sidewalk in front of our house began to be littered with bare, fallen branches so then I knew it was time.
Even today, when I see the stump where the tree used to be, it makes me sad. But, just like people we love, eventually we have to say goodbye to them.
These days, the neighbors must think I have a few marbles missing because I go around with my camera, looking up into the branches of nearby trees, taking photos. These beautiful autumn leaves render me breathless.
