As I get ready to go back to school and start the next year, I think about the cycles as they continue. There is comfort in knowing what is to come and what to expect, and the excitement lies in the fact that you can never be truly sure about the future. The cycles of our life repeat, yet they are never really the same again.
Just back from vacation, and my favorite tree is in all of her glory. If you look back on this blog, you will see the tree in the middle winter looking almost totally dead. Hard to believe this is the same tree. As summer goes into fall, I will keep taking pictures of the tree very few weeks until I have an entire year documented.
Well, I just returned to Somerville from a week-long vacation out West. The tree is looking greener and fuller by the day, and soon you will not be able to see the branches beneath again. Pretty soon people walking along the bike-path from Davis Square will stop and gaze at this majestic tree.
Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. With the days getting longer, I finally have time after work to walk by and get some nice shots of the beautiful tree. Of course, you can still see the trunk and branches underneath, but in just a short while she will be full again.
Well, it has been a long winter season, but the tree is starting to turn a light shade of yellow. This is a sign that it will soon fill in again. Cycles like this truly amaze me; this tree has stood here at this spot for all of these years despite unimaginable changes and events taking place in the world around it.
