I have had the same feelings about old trees. We still have American chestnut tree stumps in our woods that are decades old. Each time I see one, I am sad that we no longer have them in our forests.
It is . . . although it’s difficult finding people to kid around with. But, at least I have the snow to look forward to (I hope they are not once again overestimating the amounts).
Melissa, I think there are many many folks out there with your regard to old tree and probably many more who have that regard but have yet to recognize it.

I am sure they are overestimating the amounts at least here in the Denver area.

I revere old trees. The clouds in the background add lots of drama.
