There are several musical trees in my neighborhood. Whenever I pass by, I hear cheerful harmonies coming from them. Sometimes it sounds like a jam session. Other times, a well orchestrated set. During the summer and spring season, the trees are normally full of lush green leaves so that I’m never able to see its musicians.

However, since we’re now in the winter season, all the leaves have fallen. As I passed by in the early morning, I heard the familiar sounds and for the first time, I saw the ensemble on a naked tree. About ten musicians sat, perched on different branches, like musical notes on sheet music.

Just as I stopped to take a picture, the musicians seemed camera shy and flew away – all except for two that remained, watching me closely. Then one of the two decided it had enough of the stranger with the camera. It flew away… and then there was one.

Have a good week, everyone.

New York greetings,
Paz
