Old Friend
Crataegus sp., hawthorn or haw, old and weather beaten on Dolly Sods. This is one of several old friends I manage to visit and admire once or twice a year. This spring I discovered one of its companions (offspring perhaps – behind where I am standing and not visible) is nearly thornless. This one surely is not.
