Osgood Tree

In April of 2006 while photographing cellars I photographed a tree by an irrigation ditch. I was intrigued to the strong lean of the tree, which seemed to be drawn to the water in the ditch. Earlier this fall I was photographing cellars out there again and was saddened to see that this tree was broken. I couldn't help but make another photograph. I'm not thrilled that the two don't quite line up. I may have to rectify that with a different second view this spring.

It's interesting how the smallest losses (a tree that I and maybe the farmer who uses the water from this ditch notice) have the strongest personal impact. Well, enough philosophizing, here's the tree:
