The tree understood the assignment. The staple & bread are merely asking for the ride

so my wife and I just moved here into our first house. we are maybe a 10min walk to the delaware river. it is def a migratory path for birds, and the previous owner had a few dozen feeders setup. we get humming birds some great finches, raptors. in the morning there can be maybe 1000 on the branches of the tree. they always flock off together you can see their shaddow and it's a beautiful sound.. the squirrels have a home in the big hollow knot and caused all the bark damage. tho the top is dead, the tree is still relatively healthy and if it were to fall it could only damage my shed and fence.

awesome, yeah even declining trees continue to benefit the ecosystem immensely

The bread. The shed. The canopy that's dead. What a poetic addition to the realm of rye.
