I happened past the tree again yesterday and saw it again during a snow storm. The same tree, with apples on its branches still, standing against the onslaught of winter.
It was a cold day. The snow was falling, but not accumulating in any great amount. The sky was dark and gray. But the tree stood strong.
I liked the apples still clinging to the bare branches. Holding on against the dark season.
It certainly isn't a Christmas image. But it is life.
