And what a beautiful choice for this week's #Scribblepicnic. The vastness of the savanna - and one lonely tree.

Your tree lands...I wish you a wonderful time away! <br />Your tree landscape is lovely. Somehow it is striking to have a barren landscape but for one tree. <br />I find it rare to be able to photograph one tree without anything man made in the scene. I look for trees like that.

I love trees and am always noticing them in my travels even to and fro to the city. I watch the foliage come and go and when a limb is broken or a tree is downed for some reason. They provide shelter and shade to wildlife and humans. What would we do without trees! xx PamPamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-36000383328495550032017-04-26T14:03:50.850-04:002017-04-26T14:03:50.850-04:00Thank so much Mike - glad you are a tree lover too...Thank so much Mike - glad you are a tree lover too.
