Sundown…after the Harvest
Old and gnarled the lone Hawthorn Tree. Yet all around new growth has been harvested for yet another season..autumn is on the way

Of trees only could talk…. I often touch a tree. Sometimes they feel rather warm to the touch. Occasionally cold. Even in a hot summer. I like to think that the warm trees ‘speak’ to me and that some cold trees don’t want to bother.
There is a book by a German forest ranger who discovered trees communicate with eachother. When a tree needs water and/or food, roots travel towards that tree to help. He wrote a book about this. See here: http://www.lifegate.com/people/news/trees-social-beings-peter-wohlleben
That would mean that this beautiful hawthorne must be lonely?
