I love that we have a wedding tree. And, yes, we do occasionally visit even if it's not our anniversary. Analogies could be made comparing our marriage to the continuous changes in and around this tree. With the relatively recent trail closure, I'm having to adjust to taking a different route to reach the tree. I was resistant at first. I noticed a new trail has popped up, and maybe next time we'll explore that path. The leaves were still hanging on. They were a bit crispy compared to the soft shoots of spring. I'm not sure when they drop. January?
ps 11/28/13 - I came across "That Tree: A Year in the Life of a Lonely Oak" on the Sierra Club site, and it reminded me a little of what I'm doing with our wedding tree. So far, my less-than-artistic photos document 7 1/2 years of this oak tree, and I hope to continue chronicling at least once annually for the rest of our lives.

I love that you have a wedding tree too. It's interesting seeing the changes over time.
Thanks, Jennifer.
Your readers have an anniversary now - of seeing your wedding tree. It's a nice tradition for us too. Go tree!
Ya, Cindy, remember the time I thought this tree was a goner?
