Olive trees can be so broad they can’t be circled with your arms. The trunks are rough and gnarly. Hollow center trees thrive. Some aged trees look as if the tops have been completely severed; yet, new limbs miraculously sprout bringing life. Trunks and limbs are disproportionate. Olive trees simply defy death. Olives simply taste delicious.
Today we purchased 1/4 pound of local olives for less than a dollar.

The olive trees are so ancient, hard to believe that they are still producing. The fresh, local olives were probably delicious. So happy you have an old friend for part of your journey.

More olive orchards. Most lack symmetry. Their irregular shape adds to their beauty. The silver green leaves dance with he slightest breeze. ~linda
