Snapshots Of My World

A Journal of Photographs and Thoughts

From my Sketchbook

Posted on March 7, 2020 by Don

In the English landscape, you often see a single, sizable and old tree standing in a flat and expansive landscape. Although it has the look of loneliness about it, it’s locational rootedness is a positive affirmation of its presence and its right to be there. It makes no apologies for its presence.

Whenever I see such a tree, it affirms in me “my right to be here” and I live and move through this beautiful world without any apology for my presence.

Lovely watercolor. The tree stands out in all its detail. Seems like we have both been thinking about trees lately. 🙂
