A Lake Superior Birch-ABC WEDNESDAY "B"


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

    1. 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!

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

  20. 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.
