The strong, silent type

This is a tree near where I get my farm-fresh milk from.  I don't know what it is about it but I always feel a sense of protection from it whether it's sporting its skeletal winter look, its lush spring coat or its beautiful autumn coat of many colours.  
I'm beginning to feel the pain of too much tv/Olympics watching and not enough exercise/fresh air/sleep so not much is happening with the camera at the moment.......loving the Olympics though :D
