Love these shorter forms. That "skeletal stately oak," the feel almost human. Love, daver

Cute one for the contest Sara. I thought about doing one with pines and did get it written but decided not to post it. Drawing blanks lately on writing or I should say nothing is sounding right. Will be done my fill in job this week and should have more time. love phyl
