Tree's Bones
The large, twisted tree had a few leaves last year, but this year: nothing but the bones
This tree has been a favorite of mine for a few years—ever since I discovered it. We had a cold, wet spring, and a lot of the trees in my area are struggling this year. I suppose there’s a small chance this one will make it back next spring, but I am not optimistic. It has clearly led a fascinating life, with turns of branch I just do not understand at all.
