Old Sneezer

One of the fun things about bumming around the backroads of Door County is that you never know what you are going to find.  There are abandoned farms tucked under towering Oaks and Maples that beg you to pull off to the side of the road and go exploring.  So camera in hand, I pushed through the weeds and found this twisted, old tree, not what I was looking for but glad I found it.  This old Cherry tree has character and I’ll bet it was magnificent when it was alive.  Now, it was simply an interesting natural sculpture surrounded by Goldenrod in full bloom.  As I studied the tree and the open field beyond, the flowers waved in the breeze seeming to dance, celebrating the life of this old warrior, who had added so much to this homestead.
