A Lake Superior Birch-ABC WEDNESDAY "B"


A battered young birch
Resists the pounding huge waves
Standing tall and proud.

    With prose like poetry accompanying it, how evocative this photo becomes.

      I've never thought of tree images in quite that way before since I dislike winter weather so much; gives me a different perspective but it's hard to be positive when it is currently -10 degrees, and that's not even counting the wind chill factor!

    Some trees pick challenging places to take root.

    I haven't seen Lake Superior in years. Birch trees were always one of my favorites (perhaps because they're so easily identifiable).

    This is such a lovely and lonely image. I like your words and I like the comment from Parker.

    It must be strong to be able to withstand the weather at this spot. Lovely photo.

    A wonderful, moody light adds drama to this birch tree, still looking beautiful!

    It would be interesting to see what twists this tree develops over the years as it fights the weather.

    The haiku and the photo complement each other extremely well.
