Oaks at the Junction

We stopped for a little while at the junction of Highway 58 and Pozo Road, where there is a little country market and some enormous oak trees. I liked the juxtaposition of near and far sujects. A branch that must have grown over the road was missing, but life persists, in the tiny blades of grass sprouting around and out of the amputated limb.

Resilience in the face of a wound with that marvelous tree in the background. Love it!

This makes me think about those talking apple trees from the movie the Wizard of Oz!
And isn't it amazing how these severed limbs can heal back and have new little life emerge from them? I love the tiny bit of green starting to grow out of the bark. Super shot!
