I love this image of "Barnabas", our party/dinner tree. He's an old
(over 100 yrs we believe) Mesquite tree next to the house. In the Spring, he's covered in soft, green, fern like leaves.
But in the Winter, as seen here, he's stripped bare in all his nekkid glory.
I've always thought that he looks like a tree from the set designer on a Steven Spielberg or George Lucas movie.
I LOVE that you NAMED YOUR TREE!
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks! For the longest time we just called it the party tree. Seems like whenver there are people over they are drawn to the tree. Our future plans include putting a dining table under it and making it sort of the outdoor dining area. So it just HAD to have a name. :-)
Deletethat is one glorious tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it really is pretty tree, in winter and in spring, ha. :-)
DeleteI love garden porn! ;-)

DeleteI love old trees, yours is spectacular !

It's one of two or three on the property but it by far has the best character. We need to get to the other ones on the property and clear out around them and open them up to the world once again. Thanks!!!
DeleteGreat photo! I love old trees, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Why thank you! Old trees are the best they have a personality all their own. Great week for you too!!
DeleteA wonderful tree, wish he were mine.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty cool old tree. I'd share if I could, LOL!
DeleteI love the winter form of your old tree. Something very dignified about him.

Trees are so different in Winter aren't they? You really get to see a beauty underneath that you can't the rest of the year.
DeleteTalk about a beautiful old tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteTruly a beautiful tree - naked or not! LOL :-)
ReplyDeleteHa, thank you! Maybe I should say he's shirtless, ha.
DeleteI love trees in winter. So much more character. And they seem so vulnerable. Your tree is very handsome for a nekked tree.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about the fact that they show a vulnerability you don't see other times. Thanks!
