This is the story behind last Monday's {this moment}.
Oh my! We're in Central New York. Specifically just outside my office. This is the winter shadow of Tree whom I find particularly impressive in winter.
Tree has been a huge part of my life for years as I have endeavored to photograph daily the seasonal changes that annually cycle around me. (See: Desk With A View.) Tree has also become talisman, muse, confidant, inspiration, and friend. Every Saturday I post a photo of Tree on this blog. There are photo collections available for viewing and even a video. See also Poetically Seasonal.
I'll be retiring in about a year, but Tree I shall never forget. I am filled with wonderful memories and am a most fortunate man.
