I first stumbled into this mighty pair of maple trees on the fringes of the Allegan Forest in 2016… kinda lost track of them in the ensuing years but stumbled back onto that site last fall. Shot on 120 HP5+ in a Ricoh Diacord TLR, with the negative was then scanned and printed.

Old Tree In February

Old Tree In February

Green leaves are beautiful indeed,
And crisp snow pleases the eye,
But on this hill I struggle to see
The beauty that passes by.

Old tree: grace rising from ground,
Branches elegant in the air.
Small trees gather round,
And dream of summer fair.

Your bark is rough and battered,
Your roots bite the earth,
Your crown is richly tattered,
As you stand both blessed and cursed.

Old tree: scarred and worn,
Sleeping, graceful, mass and form.
Beauty veiled, branches broken,
Word of creation yet unspoken.
