That tree looks like it has been through a lot. A great image.
A very nice image and the GBS is a perfect quote.
Jolie photo, j’aime cet arbre solitaire.
What a great quote for this lovely photo!
I love it when you show trees, sherri
If trees could speak they could share the wisdom of centuries
C’est vraiment superbe j’adore
an elegant simplicity
A tree with character. It certainly has had to manage its affairs. 🙂
Your pic seems to confirm the doubtful nature of Shaw’s comment!
NOw those are some deep words to ponder. I like the timeless appeal of this tree image.
Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness. ~ Eckhart Tolle
the tree has lost a few limbs over the years Sherri but it is still standing strong….peter:)
Très élégant cet arbre doinant quelle compo splendide
Belle soirée
After seeing Judi Dench’s “My Passion for Trees,” I would have to totally believe Shaw! Have you seen it, Sherri? Totally worth it. I like the tree you have chosen for this quote.
I can feel the atmosphere of the shot.
yes, (snicker) as Ginnie would say ‘that tree is outstanding in it’s field’ …
nice picture, dear
rien de plus beau qu’un arbre qui inspire la force !…
It looks as if it might have weathered a few storms.
Beautiful calming photo.
everyone has to stand alone at some point
The tree has definitely stood the test of time. It has a stately presence by itself.
oh boy, this could be a great conversation starter over dinner. Show this image, pairing it with the quote and see where the conversation goes!
