Mono Monday ...Trees

I noticed this morning that the Mono.. Monday challenge was trees so thought I would have ago. It has been a really cold day without much sun but was lucky enough to get some while getting this shot. I found it really interesting looking up into this tree as it has some beautiful patterns made by the interconnecting weave of small branches... a little like a cobweb.

Growth of a Tree
I'm a little maple, oh so small,
In years ahead, I'll grow so tall!
With a lot of water, sun, and air,
I will soon be way up there!

Deep inside the soil my roots are found,
Drinking the water underground.
Water from the roots my trunk receives,
Then my trunk starts making leaves.

As I start to climb in altitude,
Leaves on my branches will make food.
Soon my trunk and branches will grow wide,
And I'll grow more bark outside!

I will be a maple very tall,
Losing my leaves when it is fall.
But when it is spring, new leaves will show.
How do trees grow? Now you know!
