protection

the old Catalpa is getting some measure of protection with the yellow sign pointing out it is fragile, and the green sign saying not to climb on the vulnerable drooping branch

I bet it's seen some sights...well captured David, I really like the graceful way the old tree is bending over...

It seems to be reaching out to feed the birds in some kind of magical symbiosis!
magical and beautiful!

Gravity plays havoc with old age. Nice light and long shadows. V

What a great old tree. Love the light you shot it in.
Viviane29-Oct-2020 13:58
Great light. And a lovely scene with the geese below the old tree.
Marcia Rules29-Oct-2020 12:54
Sad that signs are needed for people to respect nature. A lovely sight though..

Looks like it's weathered a few storms - love it V

It might be a good idea to saw off the sagging branch to prevent accidents...it seems to attract the curious geese...V

I hope it stays and people heed the signs. Well composed with geese and branches framing the person. V

The curious contorts of nature's mind played out. Shame the mindless will probably pay no heed to signage though.

I guess the kids can't play on this tree.
janescottcumming28-Oct-2020 22:09
Nice the tree has a sign to protect it. I can see how kids would love to run up that branch.

An old and venerable tree ! Beautiful in its old age ! V.

Thoughtful that people think to protect an old tree, plus a few guard geese for extra protection.

Wonderful capture of this beautiful old tree David...BV
Don Mottershead28-Oct-2020 20:25
The geese are also doing their part by laying landmines all round the tree.

Nicely composed image with lovely light.

Remarkable shaped tree. A great capture of it from this POV. The geese are a nice bonus. !V

nice capture of this magnificent tree.V.
Helen Betts28-Oct-2020 18:13
Great capture of this old tree in beautiful light. Good idea to have those signs because all too often I see kids climbing on branches in the park here that look as fragile as that one.
Walter Otto Koenig28-Oct-2020 18:03
Great that the tree is receiving attention and protection. Good choice of vantage point for your composition. Nice with all the geese enjoying the area as well. "V"
