Not much to see in the sky this cloudy Christmas day. I thought I would share a bit of the oak tree's trunk.Two squirrel feeders, a small black bear sculpture, and an Native American hanging adorn this side of the trunk. The trunk is 9 feet 7 inches high before it starts to branch out.
When we were little we used to dance around it, hide behind it, and lean up next to it and read. This old trunk has given all of us a sense of stability...it will stand for a long time.
Since it was such a cloudy day I thought I would do part of the tree in sepia tones.
Then to add some color I added foiling to this photo.Please go visit the other great
Skywatch participants at SkyWacth Friday There are wonderful photos from all around the world!

I really like the foiling effect. It almost looks quilted! Nice SkyWatch! Thanks for stopping by my blog, too!

Merry Christmas!
Nice old tree, that has been part of your lives and will continue to give you pleasure. I had an old Walnut like that as I was grown up, its still there, but I have grown up and moved on, but I remember it fondly.
Merry Christmas.
Original and beautiful.
Interesting and very different effects in each photo. I love the tree and its attachments.
This is the time of year when earth and sky often blend together with no real definition. Very creative pictures.
