Growing old with wind
but still keeping it's balance
the big walnut tree

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

This brings back some lovely recollections of certain trees that are literally formed by the winds...and some old sayings about "bending so you won't break"...

these are lovely Titia...you're on a roll today!

Walnut tree bending
Shading memories of days past
Bows in happiness

Loved it!
