Only one photo in my whole file fits the category "Looking Up". A gnarled, twisted old giant stands at the entry to the old folks home. I believe it is a Texas Umbrella tree which means when the March winds blow it will deposit great limbs on the sidewalk. It has just been trimmed, so maybe it will withstand the big blows better this year.
I was struck by the pattern made by the limbs, so I looked up long enough to take its portrait.
Thanks for the simple beauty Chuck.

Even though I live in Texas I have never heard of a Texas Umbrella tree. I can't tell from the picture if I know it by another name. Paula

Beautiful pic of the tree...Kasey
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tree to have where you can admire it. It's a grand old tree isn't it and seems to me there are a lot of grand old folks in that old folks home you referred to too.
