Tree Beings

Maery Rose July 14, 2011January 30, 2015

You all know how much I love trees. Well, I got to see some great driftwood and tree-rock-flower arrangements while I was in Colorado, which I ‘ll show you in my Not Too Many Words Wednesday.

When I photographed this tree, I was thinking it looked like it was doing some kind of yoga posture. But when I looked at the photo on my computer, what I saw was a wolf. I’m wondering what you see?

I’m a sucker for one lonely tree struggling against all odds to grow.

And I admired the way this loner stood out against the darkening sky.

An octopus perhaps?

Creepy shape-shifting witch fingers that brush your neck as you pass by…

There were places where my two favorite elements combined — water and trees. Some were a raging combo.

Others joined in serenity.

And these sentries were just plain cool.

Java has her own appreciation for trees or bite size pieces of them anyway…

Silly Nonsensical

Cold

Not too much to report on outdoor activity. The only aerobics I’ve done lately is to rush from my warm car to a warm building and some short sprints on my elliptical while catching up on the latest Grey’s Anatomy and Fringe episodes, that I watch on my tiny laptop screen. Unfortunately, I’m not like…

Minnesota Autumn Brew Review

Last Saturday, I went with some friends to the Autumn Brew Review, put on by the MN Craft Brewer’s Guild. Basically, you pay a fee to get into the event and are handed a small glass to go around and sample beers brought by 80 brewers. There was a large variety of beers (over 250…

Chipping Away While Sipping Coffee

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stone-cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all…

Java’s Water Park

I took a brief break from real life. The time away was way too brief, but too many irons in the fire to take more. I went on a two-night camping trip to Tettegouche State Park, near Silver Bay, MN. There’s too many photos to show all at once so I’ll post as I get…
