Octopus's Garden (1/17/04)
This tree never fails to amaze me with it's maze of branches and the little berries that seem to take many different forms during the course of the year. I've never noticed the patterns of moss on this quirky winding trunk before. I guess I was just never looking. The real beauty of this tree is that this is the one all of the robins slowly start showing up under, announcing the arrival of Spring. Photo shot 1/17/04.
