Soldiers


Out at the tree farm this morning, I must admit that I craved the warm car interior. However, who am I to deny the crisp, chilly, winter air and the plummeting temperature signaling the close proximity to the festive season.
I was busy tagging trees for the team to begin digging when I noticed a row of "straight as you please" soldiers standing in perfect unison across the estuary. Well, not really soldiers but a plantation of Betula alba... one of my favorite trees. Their white bark blended with the white clouds filling the sky and were highlighted by the recent topping of snow on the nearby mountains. In all, another day that makes one glad to be alive...
