Does anyone know the whereabouts of this storm damaged tree as shown in the picture?  All I will say is it is in Herefordshire UK on the outskirts of the city of Hereford .  This rather special picture reveals different things to different people.  Some people see the wings of an Angel whilst others see Mary and Joseph with the baby Jesus in the middle.  What do you see? Do you think the tree is special?  In fact, the tree has inspired at least one poet to write the lovely poem below.

THE TREE 

What do I see where limb's been torn from yonder tree?

Can it be an image of the Holy Family three?

Perhaps I see an Angel of fine symmetry;

The one who said to her - who could not see -

When questioning where her Lord might be;

What he, her Lord, had said when still in Gallilee.

But where's the limb that's torn away from yonder tree?

It's in the Cross which stood on Calvary.

MIRACLES

Yes! True miracles they were of prayer, love and thought,

The visits and concern of those who owed me nought,

But gave their time and prayers for me when I distressed;

And taught me much of love, which I had little stressed.
