Four Hundred Trees Plus One

It must have been at least a year ago, or longer, when I wrote a Blog about my 400 trees. Straightly speaking these trees are not exactly mine in the sense of possession. I don't have them in my garden, heck, I don't even have a garden, nor orchard nor even a back yard. I was just given to understand one fine day, out of a blue, by a government report that there are a great number of trees all over the place in Spain, and that dividing the number of trees by the number of inhabitants, each of us has 400!

I remember I was absolutely delighted by the news. That revelation made my day; I was happy as I could be, almost proud. I love trees, especially the very, very old ones, and have collected quite a number of photos or drawings of such ancient trees, cross-grained, twisted, knotted, bent, and gnarled, but still living and, to me, majestic and magnificent!

I just found this one in the photo below. Isn't it just incredible and sublime? If I don't tell anybody about it, maybe I can include this one as my own? 401 trees!! What splendid treasure, I am rich!!
