Exactly!

You've reminded me that my first "real" drawing was of pine trees in a neighborhood park. One of the trees was leaning very far to the left, almost falling over. I was so fascinated by the pattern of the straight trees with one leaning to the side like a slash mark. It was that way as long as I can remember until I went back as an adult. The tree was gone. Probably felled by a storm. That's how it usually goes with those trees and their shallow roots.

I once found a dead cat in those woods. The top side was like a dried hide with fur intact . . .
