Today was a reflective, introspective day more than others. The cooler than normal temperature, the gleaming sun rays bouncing off the autumn leaves provided a nice backdrop to relax. Where else to enjoy this type of day -- at the lake. I took a ride and as I listened to the water pounds the rocks, the wind howling ever several minutes and looking at a clear blue sky, I sensed a calm. When I took out my camera to capture the scenery, I saw a almost bare tree standing about 20 feet from the water. Nothing really unique about this tree except for this is the first time I noticed it almost bare. Being inspired by a drawing from my friend, NHB, I snap a few photos looking up and appreciating the form and character of this lone tree. Whether this tree is attractive or not, in the spring the leaves will return. Next, I thought with all the directions life takes us, we always have one source to keep up grounded. Thanks friend.
