With the temperatures falling near zero this evening, the hole in the dead tree may provide some shelter to some birds to stay warm.

There might not be snow today, but no green for the Irish either so St. Patrick’s Day needs to be moved into spring instead of during the winter months.

This dead tree is hanging on somehow without going over the edge of the steep cliff and dropping into Lake Superior. Just like this winter is hanging on and on and on. Time for the forces of nature to turn and let spring come and someday this tree will become driftwood on some beach.
Hanging On!

This old dead tree looks like there is a critter head coming out of the top of the tree.

Old Crooked Tree
Old dead tree stands all gnarled and worn,
Its brittle limbs all battered and torn.
The passing centuries it has seen
When it was still mighty strong and green.
The marvelous stories it could tell
When critters would stop to rest a spell.
The youthful days when life was prime
Has withered since near the end of time.
Wind and storms try to force it to fall,
Old crooked tree barely standing tall.
