Bearded trees


The beautiful, ancient trees show their age in the winter.

Their sagging branches covered with snow bear the weight of nature.

There is silence in the sagging, white bearded branches now.

All the happy chearping and all the new life abandoned the white topped trees.

We are part of nature.



Just as the trees become abandoned so do the elderly when their hair turn white and their strength ebbs.
It is a fascinating, never ending cycle.
From seed to bud, from bud to bloom, from bloom to strong, healthy, colorful flowers which slowly fade, sag back towards the ground.
It is the justice of nature that no one live thing, no matter how beautiful or powerful will escape.

And now Millbrook (AL), where to go and adjacent areas, by Tina's website.
