A Word a Week Photograph Challenge – Remote

…..the word Sue pulled from her dictionary this week is remote

Remote to me means far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The beach where I have my cottage feels remote very early in the morning or early or late in the season. A great place to reflect.

Sunday Trees – 136

…..now that my big Ontario White Pine is no more I have a full view of my neighbour’s Black Walnut Tree

I don’t think I’ll replace my tree with anything this large. In fact I might just put in a nice little Japanese Maple. They don’t grow to be very big and something smaller would suit that space much better.

Sunday Trees – 135

….for more Sunday Trees check out Becca Givens site http://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/sunday-trees-135/

On Wednesday of this week this grand old tree in my backyard is coming down. In the grand scheme of things this Ontario White Pine is not that old. When we moved into our house over 35 years ago this tree was barely as tall as me. It should have outlived me but some kind of boring insect infected the tree and it is beyond saving. When the arborist from the city came to check that we weren’t cutting down a healthy tree he said very matter of fact that the tree was dead.
