If Trees Could Talk ...

... this one could tell a few stories.

It's rare these days to find a solitary tree I haven't blipped already. I had lots of wonderful snowy scenes to choose from today, but I couldn't resist posting this. With having to make a trip into town, I chose to go up on the north side of the valley today. It was good to have sunshine too. The snow was harder and much better for running. There were long sections where I was able to run on the crust without breaking through. It was a lot of fun. The snow being dry, I had warm toes in my fell shoes, which is amazing considering the sub-zero temperatures. 
Perhaps the weirdest thing is that there was no one about. For the second day in a row, once away from civilisation, I didn't see anyone, enjoying the magic all on my own.

I guess I see a bit of myself in this old tree - bits wilting, bits falling off, but still standing proud and looking for adventure!
