Without You I am . . . [America Pictures Alabama ]

Yesterday two "photo friends" and I took a "scouting" trip to "Pennypack Ecological Trust" in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania to see if was a suitable locale for a Meet-Up of our photo club.
-----------
In a winter meadow, this dead and decaying tree appeared to me as a lost and forlorn soul.
-----
And then I thought of Pancho Sanza, jousting at windmills.
----
So the question is: Is the tree forlorn? Or just deluded?
-------
By the way, Pennypack appears to be a great place to return to, often, in every season.
