Description
You have seen this old crooked beech-tree before. Seeing him again today on my first visit to the grounds of the country-house Groeneveld near Baarn since I left the hospital three weeks ago (not by bike yet though, but by car), I just had to take a picture of the old guy!He is such a wonderful symbol of survival in spite of all adversity!

Man, I like trees like this one. They just seem to have a personality, and a sort of sentient presence to them, as if they were old matriarch elephants. Silly, I know. XD But that's how it always seems.

It is standing on some big, strong feet. A tree with lots of character.

Mooi oud geworden!!! Hij staat er gelukkig nog!
Bij ons in de gemeente zijn ze gek op het kappen van bomen. Helaas.

Mensen zeuren hier veel over de 'overlast' van blaadjes in hun aangeharkte tuintjes, en vooral op de zondagen!
Terwijl los blad goed is voor de plantjes in de tuin in de winter.

Ik laat altijd de bladjes liggen.
