Old Tree in Spring

[larryj]

This old tree sits on a lake shore at a local park. Parts of him seem to drop off every year or two and are replaced with new growth.

A self pruning tree Someone still has to clean up the fallen branches however......

Looks like an interesting area for birds, bees and butterflies as well as this beautiful old tree.

Hi Trent, you are right this is a area that attracts lot of birds, bees and butterflies. There are always plenty of ducks and geese around the lake and occasional visit from night heron, blue heron and cormorants. There is a garden in the park providing numerous flowers that attract bees and butterflies. A fun park about 1/2 mile from my house that offers photo opportunities nearly year round!

That's quite the tree! It looks like it's reaching for water.

Thanks Jim, yes that is quite an old tree. I have been shooting pix of him for lots of years and watch as he loses a branch every year or so and still keep growing. A few months after this shot was taken that branch fell off, part into the lake and part on the bank.

Beautiful colors of the tree with the surroundings and the sky, I look forward to the picture when the tree is full of new leaves and beautiful greenery all around, the bare trees are a bit sad.. in any case, it's a very nice picture, Larry!
