This is photo book is about reconnecting with my father's family when I first moved to this house on July 31, 2011. The trees and yard surrounding this home provide a shelter to the animals and birds which pass through. However, there seems to be one tree in particular that is the center of attraction. It is my ornamental crab apple tree. I affectionately named the tree Gabby since her branches are usually filled with chirping birds during wintertime and buzzing bees in the summer months. I have grown exceptionally fond of the tree since it has become somewhat of a mentor to me, while I watch the tree adapt to the changes that each new season brings.
