I'll defend the tree - I think the frame would look empty without it: and moodwise, it matters that there's something dark and unformed hovering in sight, literally overshadowing things. If I'd wanted the picture without, I could have moved a little, or cropped, I think - that's a lot of area to clone out...
But do feel free to try a mod if you want to.

I shall just add - I see where Howard is coming from but the tree is important to the mood for me. It gives balance, and it creates a relationship, the tallest cross is leaning in towards it.
I had given out my four UAs for the day before 9am and they are all for ominous, foreboding images. It's that sort of a day.

Boredom isn't a problem....got lots of jobs that need doing. There are plenty of things we can all do to
help pass the time, It's motivation that's the problem., The continuous dreary news and the cold wet weather's
starting to get to us all. Got a bunch of stuff planned for when the lockdowns lifted. Just impatient to get on with it...

Holidays? Now that is a word I have not heard for a long time. However, a holiday from lockdown is a better use for this word. My wife and I (lucky that we are still two of us, as it must be terrible to be alone in the present situation) we try to think of what we are going to do the next day. Be it just a walk or a visit to a shop.
However, we now have some light in the distance, as I got my vaccination on Saturday and my wife gets hers on Friday!

I cheer myself up by working in the garden. It has to be really hard work to stimulate the endorphins so today I took the chain saw to the overgrown copse at the bottom of the garden and cut down and then cut up three trees that were spoiling the view. Now quite exhausted, but content. Tomorrow, weather permitting, all the small branches go through the chipper to make mulch for the veggie patch.
