Walnut Tree

 This week's Gallery is trees.

There is a walnut tree at the bottom of my garden.
The old man whose garden it lives in remembers it being planted when he was a young boy.

 It cuts out a lot of light from our garden but I wouldn't want to be without it.  It supports so many animals, insects and sometimes other climbing plants.

It shares it's nuts with us all.








I will lay in bed looking at it's branches and marvelling at it year after year.

It worries me that when the old man dies his little house on a lot of land will become plots and no one will want the tree any more.

The council weren't interested in placing a preservation order on it.

It worries me.

My tree, that isn't my tree.
