An Old Stump

I took this photo at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg.  It reminded me of the last stanza of Shel Silverstein's poem/children's book, The Giving Tree.

"Well," said the tree, straightening
herself up as much as she could,
"well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting
Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest."
And the boy did.
And the tree was happy.
