A Tolerant Tree


To use my time constructively, I walked up the road with my sketch pad.  I was pleased to find a sign indicating that the dirt portion of the road was closed due to "mud conditions."  This means that I can walk safely and not have to worry about crazy drivers.  There were other walkers and runners, more than usual, all maintaining their distance.  I've drawn this tree many times.  It's an old friend, or at least, it tolerates me.  I say that because it's been brutalized by the electric company, which has cut half of its branches, so that the tree presents a plane aligned with the road.
