Even Tree's Get Old

This tree is over 500 years old and changes every single day! As long as I can remember it has been a brilliant canopy of leaves that is impenetrable during summer! and sticks and twigs during winter. Last summer it changed slightly, and this summer it has even less leaves. I think its dying slowly, which is sad because it is such a beautiful tree. because I'm just doing these photos quickly each day, i tried to get a sepia background with a color foreground didn't really work, it was intended to be some nostalgic illusion back to former glory or something. don't think it really worked though.
