There’s something about this photo that feels chaotic to me. The tangle of branches; the dead leaves from last fall, hanging on precariously even as the new spring growth pushes out from the winter’s dormant branches. The century old brick a backdrop for yet another spring – another dawning year. Even the drops of rain suspended on delicate branches, waiting to fall, to nourish the earth from which the tree thrives add to the pandemonium.
I wonder which will outlive the other: the tree, or the house?
Do you sense the chaos? Is it just me?

Yes, looks like the chaos in my backyard. I think it’s winter dominating the garden, and our country, lol. 🙂

The water droplets and scattered twigs overlaying the brickwork gave me the impression of a large spiders web in that part of the picture – just a first glance.

This is gonna sound really weird, but the first thought in my mind looking at this was the movie “The Exorcist.”
Yeah, I am weird.
Love the photo. Hope I don’t have nightmares.

I’ve only known 2, Princeton and this one. Princeton is dull though better scenery and this one doesn’t have much to offer. Everyone thinks they’re smarter than everyone else – one negates the other.

I’d say the tree. It is chaotic. No organization, no specific route, just free flowing. That actually sounds a bit appealing.

It kind of does. For me, it’s possible that it’s appealing because that’s what life is like much of the time, but this picture I can put a frame around. It’s hard to explain…

It’s three windows in an alcove. I’m not sure if that constitutes bay windows or not.
