Happily married for many years. Have 4 children, all boys. I always have my camera with me and my mind tends to wander as I am driving down the road, framing scenes in my minds eye, always thinking, "that would make a great photo" and there was this old dead tree near where I work, and it was magnificent in its stature, even in death, and the field that it looked out over would sometimes fill with snow, and it's view of the horizon went on, without obstruction, until it meet the skyline... and I always thought, the next time it snows I am going to photograph it, but always seemed to be in a hurry once I arrived at work... maybe next time, I would think. Well the tree now lies upon the ground, mother nature took her back in a windstorm this past November and is reclaiming her remains back into the earth... I have since vowed to always find the time, to stop and take that shot... why was I in such a hurry anyway?
