(Took this photo in the park, a tree sanctuary. I often wonder how this shape came to be)
a quiet russle
grows to excited chatter
a swift breeze moves through
as I near the shaded grove
I pause at the sound of change

I’ve seen that when some tree limbs are removed they try and recover by having bark envelope the where the limb was. Could have been removed to prevent climbing, or even could have been struck by lightning. But I’d like to think it could be a doorway to and elf or fae’s home 😉 The top growth looks like roof shingles. 😀

Pat, I love your photo. The tree trunk almost looks like two trees grew together, one over the other! I also love the sensory detail of how the sound of leaves sounds like the winds of change. Excellent! ❤

Now you see why it’s my favorite tree. I pass it everyday one my walks. I think whatever was going on with it, it made a narrow escape and survived.😊
