Venerable!
Exactly! I wish I had said that š

I love oak trees. Thank you for featuring this fine ā and venerable ā being! How old do you suppose this tree might be? 100+?
I think it’s 100 +. I’ll ask the staff at the Audubon to verify this, though. It’s a great question. Thanks for asking and visiting.

A fine set
This tree is at least 100, which is old for around here. I’m always reading about the 400+ year old trees in England. Any near you?
We do have a few, Julie. Thank you very much
Wonderful! I enjoy seeing the same scenes through the four seasons so much. Thank you for sharing these. š
You are so welcome! There’s this scene from A Man For All Seasons where Thomas More is imprisoned, and time passing is shown via the the changes in the tree outside his prison window. I had hoped the Oak Tree would give the same feeling!
Best,
Julie
Strong and steady. Something to anchor to. Happy Friday Julie. Allan
