These evergreens were planted prior to our making this our home.
I suppose the spacing seemed just fine when they were planted. Now, it’s quite evident that the middle tree will be forever stunted in growth, giving up height so it’s companion trees can grow to the sky.
I took three exposures that day, thinking that I might put them together in a high dynamic range, or HDR photo like this. The sun was peeking through the clouds, and I wanted to see if I could get the rays of the sun to flare like this.
Not a perfect result, but then so is our friend here, Brother Little Tree. Not perfect, but thriving, just the same.
Bloom where you’re planted is the phrase which comes to mind. Take what is given to you and use it as best you can.
Folks have told me that I should take out the small tree.
I like it just the way it is.
Yet another great shot and story, Matt. Got to sacrifice some things. That li’l guy is perfect just the way he is! Unique like all of God’s creations!
