Tall Pine

For some odd reason and I don't know why.. that reminds me of 'The Devils Tree' in NJ. But it's just missing the whole KKK and Cult thing. I name thee: The Devil's Pine

MOTTS this is a wonderful shot you took!!!!!!!!!!

From dilapidation springs life...great shot.

... now trees ... there is something about trees - which carries me back home (arkansas county) we had a big tree once (dear readers) and big mightnot be the word for our be-lated/be-loved tree - it makes one wonder - what all did our big tree witness in the course of its live time - how old was our be-loved tree (???) it is hard to say - all I can tell you is that it was big and that tells me that it was old indeed (six people holding hands) in order to reach around it (an oak) as we spent generations marching under its shade - and taking its beauty for granted ... one day I plan to write about our big tree - in order to make up for all the times we (in our community) should have been having a little more appreciation for this gentle giants presence - and in my book I plan to share much about other trees (national & global) who may have something in common with our tree ... it has come to my attention that there are pictures of our big tree in the hands of families who lived and grew up in our community - since that is so - we maybe able to register our big tree with the dept of the interior (dc) and give it the recognition that it so rightly deserves - am not going to leave this task to others - am going to take care of this matter myself ... our big tree stood just a little ways off from our community ministers household - which makes this family of people - the big trees (guardian) therefore it would be only the right thing to do - by naming our big trre for this familys grand-daughter (nona) once the our tree has become registered ... a note of thanks please - ms e m garrison (usa) pine bluff arkansas ... cc:emg/wl ... of course we maybe able to check our county and state records - for infomation (landmark status) and this research should give us some ideas on how old our dear tree should be (an estimation) before it was felled - thank you once more ...
