I saw this tree on a recent visit to a local arboretum. It was the first tree I saw on the way in,
and its impact has remained with me.
I find it beautiful and I could gaze at it for hours. It didn’t have the beautiful coloured leaves
that the other trees had and I’m not sure it ever did. But, to me, this tree is every inch as
beautiful.
It reminds me that you don’t have to be either young or
physically attractive to capture attention.
This tree looks very old, it has no outwardly attractive features, yet
to me it speaks volumes. It has lived
and endured, it has seen much in its lifetime and bears the scars. It has lost its youthful beauty but it has
gained so much character. It is solid, strong,
dependable and has stood the test of time. It's inner beauty and strength really struck a chord with me.
Whilst everyone else took photographs of the
splendour and beauty of the other trees, I remained with this one. I guess the saying is true – beauty is in the
eye of the beholder.
Can you identify with this tree? I know I certainly can.
