Douglas Is Speaking

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that someone was trying to get my attention.
It was an 80 year old Douglas Fir tree tree who seemed to be pointing East. So I looked.
I didn’t see anything special but more trees and bright blue fall sky, but he was very insistent. Just standing there like a solemn sentry .
There really is no point to this post other than the tip of his very prominent limb. It simply stuck me as poetic in a sense that one branch would stray away from the norm to make such a dramatic statement that I had to mention it and ponder just what it is that our native population is trying to say.
