it's just lovely Peachman
what a gorgeous old trunk
it must have a great story to tell with all it has seen over the years



I can imagine the children enjoying the tree's delights
they can give more fun then a million toys
and still do, in a different way when the *children grow up
( *us all)

Thanks folks for looking and kind comments, but I'm afraid this shot looses a lot on our format here...it's shot to print at 11X17 " and looks good at that size...just too much detail and busy at this size...I've got to figure that one out for postings here...smaller format...smaller format..if only I can remember !
