NOTICE: THIS IMAGE IS NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE. I was out cruising around the countryside several days ago and came upon this old beat up tree on a lonely country road. It is a survivor of one of our past hurricanes, still standing and still worth something-a snap from owd Momma's camera. P.S. Thanks to Tick for my new Avie.

Don't shoot Owd Momma, I like it. I have always been fascinated by trees. They are like people. This one has turned into a wise graybeard that stands along the edge of the field spewing wisdom. Just a wonderful post.

Perfect in every way....the single tree against the large backdrop really sets a lonesome mood.

This is truly an awesome photo Pat. I love the lonely look of the gnary sundried tree. And the simplicity is fantastic. Trees are so strong, we people should be that way more eh?! And the layers of colours and textures you got, well, you really outdid yourself on this one. Super quality shot my friend. Bravo!!! Verena

She was so blonde she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said "concentrate" !

Pat, I really like this one!! I just love trees like this. I am pleased to see other people stoping to take shots of the same sort of things. (I had thought myself a little strange at times. LOL) Thanks for sharing your beauty with us. Lyn.

A beautiful background beyond the old dead tree, Pat. Nice work.
The reason Tick gave you those shotgun shells is there blanks.
