I just took a photo of the same subject. A tree branch had been cut and left a simple and beautiful pattern. That’s what caught my eye. Your photo is simply gorgeous. :-)

You caused me to think of simpler times. When I was a child, I lived on a farm, so I pulled up some images from the farm I took a few years ago. Fun use of them! Thanks.
