Arbre jarret (Tree knuckles)

I found this once magnificent tree in the stages of serious arthritis. Doesn't it just look like it has sore jarrets (knuckles)? I can only imagine that a few short years ago it was holding up branches brimming with blossoms. Even today in its aging state it exudes beauty & grace.

Spring seems to be in full swing. I have loved seeing your pictures of all the beautiful flowers. We had a blizzard yesterday, but the day before it was 80 degrees, so we are hopeful it is on its way. We are excited to come! See you soon!
