MonoMonday - wood........

.............but you can't see the wood for the trees!

PLEASE VIEW ON LARGE

Seen near the farm shop, this stand of trees caught my eye - a little manipulation and this is the result! As I'm not getting around much, my only other offering was almost identical to one already posted by someone else.

A rather grey day yet again although earlier a bright patch in the sky was a bit misleading! - it is now spitting with rain, though not cold - 55 Deg. F.

BOUI for today must, of course, be about trees:_

1) As oak trees are very long-lived, it is thought that they can help people live to an old age. You just have to carry a few acorns around in your pocket.

2) In Chinese cultures, the willow’s ability to grow quickly means it is linked with renewal and immortality.

3) In Switzerland, anyone who owns a CHERRY tree should offer the first fruit of each new season to a woman who has recently given birth to a child. This will ensure that the tree continues to bear plentiful fruit.

Hope the weather is better where you are!!
