and a dollar short. Well to be honest, I am 2 days late and probably more than a dollar short.

I started posting photos I took of the tree between my back door and the cemetery in January of this year. The goal was to take the photo on the 4th of each month for one year to note the changes in the tree. I am not a photographer, just a point and shoot gal but I have had fun doing this. I think I will pick a different subject for next year. If you will notice March was the only photo with snow on the ground. Last winter was dry and very mild. I am on the lookout for a doozy of a winter this year.

doozy
Something extraordinary or bizarre. Etymology: perhaps alteration of daisy, and Duesenberg, a luxury car of the late 1920s and 1930s. It's an English expression.
"That footballer's form is a doozy!",
"Man, that one was a real doozy!"

Tree is not turning yet either I see,guess maybe later in Sept.Yes Wierd that all those winter months and not much snow. Spoiled me and this year..I pray it is not too bad. Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteI see your tree survived it all but a bit shaken. I guess like all of us. Have a great day Beth and stay on the sunny side ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe tree almost looks like he has arms and he's holding them out to you for a hug....I guess I have a good imagination. lol
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the change of leaves. Fun to see this tree at all it's stages.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for a fairly mild calm winter, especially in the months before Christmas.
Have a great weekend. Hugs Nita.
Fun to see the tree in the different months. GA rarely gets snow, but often in Feb/Mar we have ice storms.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth I really like the different seasons of the tree what a nice idea. B
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have a favorite tree in one of our cemeteries. I might try this.
ReplyDeleteIt so fun to see the changes that way. We tend to just take for granted these things Mother Nature gives us. Great pictures. Reminds me, I forgot all about that one I took earlier this year. Better to back and check on it.
ReplyDeletethats a doozy of a tree!! great idea, i enjoyed this!!
ReplyDeleteThat poor tree. Going through some rough times....but looks like it may pull through:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to do that- That is quite a tree! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the different stages of the tree. I can see a difference, I think, in Aug, and Sept. photos.
ReplyDeleteI think the tree has been a good subject. In fact, I was motivated to find something here to follow for next year.
ReplyDeleteWe had no snow at all during the winter of 2012. I always like to have a little winter weather when it is in winter season.:)
I think I've been multiples of dollars short for much of my life.:)

I'm a day late and a dollar short myself!
ReplyDeleteI like seeing the tree in all the seasons. I always love snow pictures. I hope you get some great color on it this fall.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of trees in our area that look much like this one. Just too hot and not near enuf water.

This is such a great idea! I love seeing it change throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteI worry about the upcoming Winter, especially with Bill driving a truck!
You stay safe, too! Hugs!
Love the monthly tree photos!! I should do something similar but with Autumn standing in front of the tree. She probably wouldn't cooperate though lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)

That poor tree is in desperate need of trimming out of dead limbs. (sorta like me).
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite cool in the evenings here but not a frost or anything...expect once that happens the changes of fall will be evident.
ReplyDeleteLooks like that one branch is truly dead and not coming back. Too bad. But otherwise that old tree did well through the heat and drought.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend. :)
You did well to stick at it Beth [tree] I gave up as there was just not difference for so long, now it has started to go brown and crinkly, it hasn't really done well this year, owing to the sun playing 'now you see me , now you don't'
ReplyDeleteThat tree could use a haircut. Dead limbs do it no good. I like your idea of one picture a month. Let's see, how can I steal this idea?
ReplyDeleteI'm finally off tomorrow! Woo Hoo! 10 days straight!
Beth I signed up for Spaces late in 2007. I didn't do my first blog until Jan. 2008 so by Jan. 2013 it will be 5 years. It does seem we've been friends for longer.
That's a good thing.
I love how you have kept up the Tree photo's Beth. I gave up awhile back so well done .
ReplyDeleteHope you have a Lovely WEEKEND
Hugs Sheila xx
Hi Beth just cruising through some missed blogs. I love how you have kept monthly pics of the tree. I do love the header the most in the fall. I can see that tree needs some serious pruning. Way to many dead branches. So glad you have been getting rain your way finally. Today we had a little sprinkle. First rain in almost a month. But that's ok we had sooo much in June and July. There is now a nip in the air, especially at night. But I know we will still have some beautiful warm days ahead the rest of September.
