Fabulous
Merci, Sheree!
Wow. Old, grand, and super stylish.
🙂 Thanks, Isha. It is a fine pine!
There are a lot of tales to be told in these weathered remains!
Absolutely! This beauty endures.
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes and Jaye Marie.
I feel a definite affinity with this old tree…
Same here, I feel a kinship after years of admiring it each time I pass by. It is so venerable!
They are good friends… 🌲
A tribute to the Pine’s steadfastness……I like the little window!
Thank you, Alice! Glad you caught that… I tried to get some blue to show through, as well as the oak behind it. 🙂

Speaking from experience, this has not been a good winter for old pines. 🙂
Yes, a lot of windfall. Though, this one seems to weather the years well.
I like the ‘spigot’ on the right: apparently where a former branch joined the trunk. Perhaps that’s where a bucketful of spring could be gotten!
Nice thought, Linda! This is a tree I’ve admired for years, the knots make it so interesting.
I can relate! 😉
Ha, yes– age AND beauty! 🙂
Ha, ha…thank you. I’m sure it creaks some too! 🙂
Very artistic composition!
Thank you, Barbara!
Oh, my! What beautiful knots and weathering. We should all age so well.
Ah, yes, that we should! I always stop to admire this beauty on my woodland walks. So much texture and the knots are extra cool. 🙂
That is beautiful! Trees are such great subjects to photograph 🙂
Thank you, Dale! It is a trailside favorite.
I bet it is. I thought of you on today’s walk, clicking away at some trees and things 🙂
💜 😎
Nice capture! Love the texture and holes–there’s still plenty of life in that, isn’t there?
Thank you, Tina. This one is a beauty, I’ve been admiring it for years– so interesting to watch its transformation back to earth. 🧡
I love trees, dead ones, early spring, fall ones, and weeping willow’s are my most loved
Thank you, Eileen. I concur, there is great beauty in all forms of trees. They feel like kin to me. 🙂
Wow, that is so cool looking! Nature is a fantastic artist, isn’t it? ❤️
Absolutely! I’ve walked by this ‘sculpture’ for years and I always stop to admire it. Truly a work of art!
Lucky you!
A work of art!
It is indeed, thanks, Kris! 🙂
What an interesting tree — I’ll bet it could tell so many tales if it could talk!
I bet it could! 🙂
Very old by the look of it
Yes, I would say so. Probably been in that spot at least a hundred years. I’ve been walking by it for decades, been dead longer than that and maybe 75-80 when it died. An old soul!
What a beautiful perspective of this lovely old snag!
Thank you, Donna! She’s a lovely gal!
Love it, a White Pine?
Thanks, Amy. Yes, the only native pine that grows here. Hardy to zone 3!
Beautiful! Oh, the stories the tree could tell. 😊👏🏽
Yes, indeed– thanks, Pepper!
Very nice image Eliza! Enjoyed seeing it!
Thank you, Reed!
This is too reminiscent of the shattered junipers all around Austin after last week’s ice storm.
Sorry, Steve!
I love your perspective on this. It almost looks like some fantastical creature. Maybe that’s what trees turn into when they finish this life. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. This old gal definitely has presence!
Looks like a good friend to meet on a forest walk. There is something special about old trees, even the ones that have got holes in them. Landmarks for us, and great habitat for wildlife.
True that, this one is a good, old friend. 🙂
A great old tree that has served its time! I like your angle and how it is reaching up along with the other trees.
Thank you! It is a venerable old tree. 🙂
How these trees endure. Still beautiful.
Yes, indeed. Thank you, Belinda. 💚
Slowly returning to the earth. Nice perspective, Eliza!
Thank you, Steve!
