caught

The path through the little woods at the back of our five acres shows changes that have transpired through the winter. After the snow has melted, you can see the pine and spruce branches that have broken, fallen and gotten caught by other branches or vines.

Often needles and branches fall onto a neighboring tree of a different species. It's a simple thing, but I never tire of looking at the configurations these couplings make. The unity touches me.

And for a bonus, this pretty evergreen tree (sorry I don't remember the name) was covered with petals from the magnolia tree next to it at one of the gardens at my university.
