Description
some one wish to see this tree up close so here it is. I posted a photo of this tree a few days ago so look in my gallery to see the imformation on it and links to the epic poem. real sad one but it base on a true story so say.
One can think of stories like this and I looked up a old friend that had gotten marry from high school. I walked into the story and some of her fellow workers tell each other if I had sex with her too. I told them nothing for they was 18 or 19 years old.thought about telling them when they get her age some young punks will say the same to them. And she over heard them saying this. I did not see her in 30 years but I was going to ask her for lunch just to talk about old times. She told me before I could ask her to please leave for she have nothing for me. I left and never went back. I just thought of this as this happen many years ago like 10 years. wonder what happen to her in 40 years???? all I did was date her one time but was friends in high school as she fell head over heels with someone else and marry that person after school was over. I was not mad just stay friends and understood what going on.
we all got stories like this.
thanks for looking and comments and all who voted too.

When I see trees like this (and we have a few ancient and poetic trees out here in Northern California too) I think of what that tree must have seen, heard and endured over its lifetime. I can become the mind and the heart of the tree by just looking at the hard lines of the trunk, the gentle twists of the branches and the many animals and plants that depend on it for life as well. Stunning shot, Jock.

Terrific shot of the twisted oak and environs, Jock! Those young punks should learn some appropriate behavior and gravitas!
