This very old oak tree has just had this years crop of babies. These little acorns were only about 1/2" across. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations states that 'great oaks from little acorns grow' is a 14th century proverb.

Nature will continue to flourish as long as man does not hinder nature's growth but shortsighted and selfish interference will continue to destroy nature. Nice shot Kathy.

Kathy, like to copy the wise words of Raj. I can't say it any better.

Love this perfect and detailed image. Great angle and inherent perspective!

Regards, Cornelius.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

A nice close up on the acorns and oak leaves, Kathy. The focus could be sharper.
