What a beautiful photo! I've done a few posts about trees lately. One recent one had a quote I love by May Sarton: "I understood why old men plant trees."

@Harmonium1923 Yes, I saw!! I had to go back to reread in entirety. So lovely. 鈾ワ笍

@JustNik Since we're on the topic, here's another favorite, by Willa Cather, from O Pioneers! I started reading her books during the pandemic for some reason, and she's brilliant and lyrical.

"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. I feel as if this tree knows everything I ever think of when I sit here. When I come back to it, I never have to remind it of anything; I begin just where I left off."

Oaks do hang onto their leaves until the last moment.
