Photo of the Day: Dreaming Tree

"From the start, she knew she had it made easy up 'til then for sure she'd make the grade. Adorers came in hordes, to lay down in her wake. She gave it all she had, but treasures slowly fade. Now she's falling hard. She feels the fall of dark. How did this fall apart? She drinks to fill it up. A smile of sweetest flowers, wilted so and soured. Black tears stain the cheeks, that once were so admired. She thinks when she was small, there on her father's knee. How he had promised her, "You'll always be my baby" "Daddy come quick. The dreaming tree has died, I can't find my way home. There is no place to hide. The dreaming tree has died." Dave Matthews Band "Dreaming Tree" 


This past summer I went fishing at a little reservoir in Berlin, MA. Its a beautiful little place called Gates Pond. My Husband and I spent the entire day walking around the outskirts of this pond. Along our way we stopped off a hidden little path where I shot this picture of what I like to call my dreaming tree. We had been fishing along the pond all day with no luck at all. (I had just about given up and began snapping photos) As I snapped this picture I was startled by my husband yelling "Becky, COME QUICK!" As I ran to see what Jim was yelling about I looked to the ground and saw the largest Bass I have ever seen caught. So as I was off dreaming about catching a large fish to make this day complete the tree made it happen. Or so I believe. So today not only do I have one photo of the day but I think to go along with the story of the day I have to include the photo of the fish too. ENJOY!
