The Tree

The thing I find about the East Anglian Landscape is the changes of objects we see every day by the seasons, for example there is a tree in a the middle of a field not far from where I live that I pass everyday, but it is only by looking at images I have taken of this tree at different times of the year that I can see the changes and what wonderful tree it is.

The tree in Summer

How full it looks in Summer, the wildlife that must depend on it for food and shelter.

Tree in mists of Autumn

The tree still holds on to it’s leaves in the first Autumn mists of October.

And as Autumn moves on so the tree sheds its leaves and takes on another form in the landscape.

Until finally it shuts down for the Winter and waits for the first warm days of Spring.

A cycle repeated every year, how long has it stood there and what has it witnessed, how long will it remain standing there in that field, maybe we should all just take a few minutes to look and wonder at the landscape around us and appreciate what we have.
