My Favorite Tree

This magnificent old oak is the largest and healthiest oak tree on the farm.  It is perfectly shaped and has never been hit by lightning.  It is nestled in a valley near the swimming hole and I am in awe of it's stately presence whenever  I come to visit it.  


"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."
- William Shakespeare


Hoping we can all appreciate nature's beauty and goodness today.  Peace.

Ouch! That is a shame. I have planted over 50,000 trees on my property and I have an emotional attachment to each one.
