The Tree

Over the years, hurricanes, nor'easters and the usual storms that travel up and down the Chesapeake Bay have shaped and molded the land and sand around this one tree at Aarons Beach.

By this one tree, I mean this lone tree which stands stoically, braving all the elements.

Still standing in spite of it all.

I love this tree.

Wordless Wednesday

Okay, aside from the fact that those last two photos are so similar that I should have used only one or the other but not both in this series, I'd like to point out that beautiful (but slowly dying) pine tree, which is so submerged in sand that it looks as if it's been cut off at the knees. (Or is that knee?)

p.s. The above is as close to wordless as I'm ever going to get on this blog, for better or worse.
 
Happy Wednesday.
