Photograph of a lone tree with gnarled branches spread against the sky at dusk. Water from a canal glimmers in front of the tree, reflecting the trunk and capturing dapples of light. Although the branches are leafless, it is just possible to see the beginning of leaves budding on the outermost twigs.

From a walk along the Buckeye Trail, Elyria shared this photo with me, which I suspect also played a role in inspiring this dream

What a glorious tree! #WitchSky
