I love old trees and recognize all the weathering they’ve gone through to be still standing. Yes, the new, seeding brought from, don’t know where, but growing right by the old. Great tanka. Love the photo!

Thank you for your kind words Miriam. Seeds are often blown here by the wind and it looks as if the older trees are watching over them ☺
