This magnificent tree is in a chuchyard in Estonia.
We both hated to leave it.

"The Groves were G-d's first temples." ~ opening line of "A Forest Hymn" by William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)
Your beautiful picture is a reminder of why that's so.
Messymimi, I must search out Bryant's work. Thanks.
Magnificent tree.

Aye.
It's beautiful! I can understand why you were both reluctant to leave it.
Bag Lady, it felt so good we just wanted to crawl inside with the elves and stay.
Oh my.. that's a stunning tree!
It is fabulous, Hilary. We hated to leave.
