SKY TREE - WAITING FOR SPRING
Texas Hill Country

It was Valentines Day, and true to Texas weather, it had already been hot early in the year. But as luck would have it on a day planned for outdoors to go hear live music at a Hill Country winery, a Norther blew in and it was cold and blustery. The clouds were leaden and hung in waves in the sky. Out there beyond the grapevines a solitary tree stood vigil - steadfast, believing, patient - waiting for spring.
