I love this tree. It stands guard on our property line. It greets everyone who comes to see us.
You can see the creek, just behind it. There is another little creek that runs next to it, draining the wet from a swamp across the road.
The creeks are spring fed and run all year, so this area stays damp. Way damp. No wonder there's so much moss on this tree. In January.
This is the mossiest side - facing northeast.
Of course.
