"For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver." --Martin Luther
As I returned to my house after church and lunch today, I was struck by how beautiful the Grancy Graybeard tree in my front yard was. As I looked at all the different shades of green, I thought this was the perfect subject for my next "macro project".
The frills that hang from the branches only last a week or two at most, but while they are blooming, the tree has such a delicate, dainty appearance.
I don't know much about this tree except what people have told me. Apparently it is an old, Southern variety most commonly seen in forests. 
This one was a gift given to me in exchange for making and embroidering a stole for a friend when she was ordained as a diaconal minister. I had no idea when I planted it, how much joy it would bring me each spring.
