Reaching Out

This magnificent old tree in the square in Sancti Spiritus looked like it was reaching out to us.
It had a great deal of character. I wish I could have spent more time as it looked as though it had a wonderful, painful, joyful story to tell.

That tree looks very, very old. Love it.

Leah J. Utas said...

Bag Lady, I got the distinct feeling it was there long before any invaders.

I'm a tree noticer, too. They all have something different to say about putting down roots and staying put.

Leah J. Utas said...

Very true, Ron. I wish everyone listened.

Reb said...

Oh, he is a very old character. Lovely.

Leah J. Utas said...

Yes, he is. Thanks.

Trees are so cool. They've been around for so long and seen so many things happen around them. They certainly would have some wonderous stories to tell...if they could. Another great photo, Leah.

I'm sorry I missed this post yesterday, and I agree, it looks like if it could talk it would speak volumes.

It has something to say, Messymimi.
