Tree ‘ku

May 15th, 2008 . by Joyce

Old but beautiful

Moss and fern-festooned maple:

Venerable tree

When I take our dog for her walk each evening, I usually stop to admire this old big leaf maple tree. I love the complicated textures of fern, moss, bark and leaves, and find the lines of the trunk interesting as well. This is currently my favorite tree, weird as that might be. I admire its beauty, and am satisfied. By the way, I took this photo at 8:30p.m. this evening, so you can see that longer days are definitely here. This was the first warm day so far this spring, long days notwithstanding.

For more Haiku, visit Jennifer over at Playgroups are No Place for Children and Christina at A Mommy Story.

    Wow! That is a gorgeous tree! I used to live in San Francisco and we would often go across the bay to hike in the giant redwoods. I miss them so… Beautiful Haiku.

    I love old trees, too. You always wonder what they’ve seen in their 100s of years.
