I have always had a fascination with trees. Big, wide, oak trees...standing always so strong and protective. It's interesting now because we have this tree in the backyard that my kids will fight over who is going to be in the nook of the tree. It wouldn't be weird to find my son or daughter just sitting there reading a book...I just love trees. The best thing about a tree is that no two trees are identical. They seem to stretch their branches which ever way they want, really with no rhyme or reason...
I used to work at a landscape company when I was just out of high school and I remember going through the tree yard....and the guys would have these trees separated to the side...because they were not sell-able, because they had to many crooked branches...And one day, a lady comes in and noticed what I had noticed that the "crooked" trees where put aside and not cared for as much...to my delight and awe, she spent thousands and thousands of dollars to buy those "crooked" trees. She said they were trees with character, fun trees, climbable trees...I couldn't agree with her more...
