A Different Point of View

As the days pass by my cherry tree always has something that impresses me. The tree stands with low branches stretching out to the sky sideways. This is how I have become aware of tiny spiderwebs sitting on the corners where some branches meet. I find this very interesting because I have never thought of spiders living on trees. I can only imagine them on corners inside houses. Capturing a picture of them wasn't easy, but I would have thought that these spiderwebs would be a little bigger? I have yet to see any spiders but because it is fall, spiders might be starting to move into places where it is warmer (like the inside of houses).  I wonder if these spiders ever caught any insects that have chewed holes on the leaves ? How long will these spiderwebs stay in place ?


Not only have I found little spiderwbs, but also the leaves of my tree have become a variety of colors. I think its because of the weather and how fall is already here. The colors vary from red to orange with brown, and others still green. From a point of view away from the tree the leaves are just the dark maroon, but it's all about perspective. From a point of view from under the tree it looks like this:

This reminds me of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover." The trees leaves are slowing falling and changing, making the tree look dead and not as interesting as it is in the summer. We tend to look at something from a perspective and not be intrigued to it. This could be anything a person or an object. I think people look at all trees as just trees and take them for granted. Trees can be thought of as an obstacle for buildings or just a waste of space. Trees are helping us breath , but that doesn't matter to most people beacuse it isn't the first characteristic that comes to mind. I wish people could see how beautiful trees really are. Trees are all unique within themselves just like my cherry tree. Not only are the leaves beautiful, the tree itself is special. It looks so much different from a view underneath it and I'm glad I had a chance to see it this way.

I have learned to look at many things in a different perspective now. I thought that perspective only mattered in a couple of things, but not anymore.
