These are probably the last shots of
the full moon shining
through this stand of pines.
It makes me very sad to realize
that this lovely little
stand of three trees will
have to be taken down
because of damage by the fires.
There are actually only three trunks
two of the trees are doubles.
I'm saying a prayer for them
and am thankful that I was able
to enjoy them while I could.
I wish I had raked pines needles away
from the base of them and
maybe they would have stood
a chance of surviving the wildfires.
"... a song of love
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines"
