Chinese Hackberry (May 22, 2010)



Dear Stephanie

I shot the photo of this Chinese Hackberry that stands by the　front yard entrance this morning. The other day I met an old woman. " It has stood here quite a while. " said the woman looking up at the Chinese Hackberry. I said hello to her on her walk. It was the first time for me to have seen her though she told me she often passed by my house. " I have become the oldest in the village." She looked lonesome. Then a shade of short stature that straightened up was leisurely going away toward the coming dusk. I wondered how old the mossy Chinese Hackberry was looking up at it.

Love
Terry
