EDM2015 - a nearby tree




Today's prompt is 'a nearby tree'. I don't yet have a favourite tree at our new home so I've taken some liberty with that phrase and done one nearby in my heart. This is the poplar tree that stood guard on our front lawn for much of the time that we lived on the farm.

It's funny in our family how significant some trees are. We call them simply the willow tree, the elm tree the poplar tree and yet all of us know specifically which tree we're talking about - and on a 50 acre property, of which roughly 35 acres were bush, that's a lot of trees!

This was done from a picture taken on the day we finally had to take it down in order to upgrade the septic tank beneath it. No wonder it was happy for so many years.

Being a gardener totally understand the knowledge of what tree one talks about 50 acres or not..
