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.

Floral Friday – May 16, 2014

….my first attempt at Floral Friday

I saw this beauty during my walk on Mother’s Day. This lovely tulip was fully opened and probably on it’s last legs but I loved the contrast of the white petals against the dark shady setting.
