Ghost of a TreesteemCreated with Sketch.

There is something that is simultaneously haunting and beautiful about an old, dead tree. It still stands tall, as it once did, but without the leaves and sap that were once signs of life. But, does that mean the tree is devoid of life?

No, its ghost carries on while its skeleton stands in this world. It can still be a home to a nest of songbirds. It can serve as a home for ants. It can soak up rain and slowly distribute it to the plants underneath it.

Even without leaves, it can still provide a slight change in the wind patterns to the farm. It can still provide some shade on hot days. And as it decays, it will provide live-giving nutrients for the soil. It still seems very much alive to me, this ghost of a tree. And once the ghost is gone, it will live on in my heart.

What lovely work you did with the editing for your photo! Long past when the leaves are gone, you've shown the tree still has an important purpose and place in this world even to continue on as inspiration when it's no longer there. A beautiful and hopeful piece, KittyGirl!

Very sweet ode to trees, @thekittygirl. I love them, too ♥

Trees still standing offer so much life when you look closely, lovely photography @thekittygirl

@thekittygirl the poetic lines are very thought-provoking ((:

The only thing more awesome than an old dead tree is an old dead tree sitting next to an old deserted barn...hehehe.

Oh my, looks like he's walking out from the field!!

Beautiful prose. I like the thought of a ghost of a tree. :-)

I do love old dead trees as well, they have so much history to them. And I really like your edit to this one - makes it so unique and different.
