Stump #1 by Jan Clark

I have always loved trees. They shade us in the summer, shelter us from storms, and provide year round beauty. Even when they are dead they still provide a place for small animals to hide, seeds for birds to eat, and often make a mossy starter home for a new tree to grow from the old. And even in death they are beautiful.
