February 21, Day 335: "Destined to be the heart of a future oak, an acorn and fallen leaf ar exposed by the recent thaw. By the end of the day, they are forecast to be buried under a fresh blanket of six to eight inches of snow."

February 22, Day 336: "Rooted in a land once dominated by tall grass prairie and oak savannah, That Tree stands as a reminder of what once was."

February 23, Day 337: "I found myself cradled in her enduring embrace for a delightfully lofty perspective."

February 27, Day 341: "An ink drawing landscape sketched on a fresh blanket of snow."

February 28, Day 342: "With the grayness of the day making me blue, I opted to embrace the cool hues of dusk to dress up a familiar scene."

March 1, Day 343: "I had a crazy busy day which concluded with a fun interview with the Sierra Club. I made a late trek out to shoot my tree photo and discovered this record of last night's acorn foraging feast by the deer."

March 2, Day 344: "Just before sunrise, a waning moon hangs in the morning sky framed by the gnarly branches of That Tree."

March 3, Day 345: "Looking so hard for that perfect image has made me blind to the simple beauty of first light, a pastoral landscape and the enduring presence of a sentinel oak."

March 4, Day 346: "My occasional fortune with lighting makes me wonder about the power of That Tree. I spent an hour wandering visually, settling down to wait and watch. The sky opened up with color and light allowing me to capture the scene. The sky closed and I walked back to reality."

March 9, Day 351: "It was early evening before I headed out in the cold rainy weather seeking today's photo. Extremely difficult shooting conditions."

March 10, Day 352: "Like the seasonal passing of time, a transient river carries away winter's veil."
