MY OLD FRIEND

Body
I first met my ‘old friend’ a few years ago while scouting for a good place to set a hunting stand for deer on my friend’s property in East Texas. The meeting was certainly happenchance; I was walking a hardwood ridge with an overgrown field on one side and a gradual slope that led to bottomland on the other.
If this old oak could talk, what stories it would have to tell. Just imagine what this old tree has witnessed since it was a seedling centuries ago on a remote hardwood ridge in East Texas. Photo by Luke Clayton
