“He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit.” — Sir Walter Scott

I’m so lucky to live where I live. I have two acres surrounded by forest and parkland, with a creek running along one side. We live in suburbia, but I feel like I’m living in the wilderness at times. This is the time of year that I relish the beauty around me as the earth erupts from Winters sleep in all her beauty and splendor. Last year I captured a great shot of my Granddaughter up in the Crab Apple tree, so this year I though maybe I could do the same shot for my 365 Self Portrait. Well . . . I’m not a Spring Chicken anymore .. . but I gave it a good college try! Oh to be young again!
