Mr. Big & Little Man


Don't know why, but the title just sat there...and wouldn't go away for me, so there it is. Took a walk one day, back behind the house in a way I've not gone before.... That always leads to seeing the land with fresh eyes, for the different perspective I think. Needless to say, I found a few things to snap pic's of while wandering around with a few friends and my little dog, JD. Not actually that far back, in a deep part of the tree's, there is a huge rather odd black cherry tree. Odd is probably considered rude to describe it, as it truly looks like it's been there forever, and it's a bit like describing your great great grandmother as 'odd'. She'd probably have a 'few choice words' for ya!! In any case, this tree, not only was an amazingly grande life in it's own right, but held a world in it's arms as well. These little ones were at eye level. The other tree's are just too close by to be able to get a picture of the cherry herself. Even looking up into her arms, she's huge, and you can't see past the first part of the trunk. By the time you step back to see her, she's protected so well by her court, that she's hidden again.
'Mr. Big' sit's up higher, with the big hat overseeing things, while 'Little Man' works tirelessly below...on his 'field'.
