So many questions….
Who were they?
And how old?
How long ago did they carve these initials on this tree?
What made them want to leave this mark?
And why in this woods, on this particular tree?
What became of them?
Did their love withstand the test of time,
or did they move on and find another?
Did they know that love always leaves it’s mark?
Do you think they learned to never take love for granted?
Curious, isn't it?
I love your thoughts and words! I feel the same way going into old places where people lived once upon a time…Wonderful image too!
So many questions come from that carving on the tree! I guess that what was true then (at the time of the carving) was very lovely and that moment was the only one that counted then. Who knows what happened after that? Life happened, and that is a whole new story!
I like your soft header with the chicory flowers!
Have a lovely day! Sandra
So many questions asked… We get to provide the answers, for ourselves. Lovely image and thoughts to consider on this morning as I sip my tea and visit you in the Photo-Heart Connection. Thank you!
Yes, there is definitely a story here – evidence of love, whether fleeting or enduring. A mark to celebrate that connection.
I ask myself those questions when I see something like this too. Beautiful image.
So many question, unanswered. I think of carving initials on a tree so old fashioned, like Huckleberry Finn, but apparently not. Great find with so many textures.
I wonder the same too.. I wonder if they will ever come back and look at these initials or they forget that they ever did it!

What a lovely, literal photo-heart connection! It does seem a nostalgic, romantic gesture from some earlier time. I hope it was a couple who did it together, rather than someone pining for an unrequited love. And I hope they are still together…and happy.
What a wonderful find! There's something so warming about initials carved in a tree! True love? I want to think so! I want to think they revisit this site on special days! I love your post, image, and your thoughtful questions!
Your photo evokes so many questions. When we leave our marks in the world, do we ever think about the people who will come upon them in the future, and what they will think? Interesting!
Lovely image… Very simple, but it raises so many interesting questions and off my imagination goes… 🙂
Signs around us involve unknown stories… I wonder the same. Wonderful photo-heart connection
Love this image and the words is has prompted from you. Beautiful connection.
Love this photo, maybee sometimes there will be answers
Great connection… shows your curiosity, thanks for sharing!
I love this! So glad you shared.
