[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  We start todays tour with an example of Austin's true
love for their trees.  Sane people would have addressed this oak long ago.
Now, when it inevitably dies...

Walking in the woods near the Padernales river I liked the curves of this
snag:

In the same area, I wondered about the age of this tree versus the
surrounding saplings:

Back down to the river I admired this tangled web of roots drinking from
the river:

Last for today we have a bent trunk.  It makes you wonder what forces of
wind or light convinced this tree to give way:

All the best.
