Tree Beings

Maery Rose

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…

September is sending signals that summer is drawing to a close. At my age, I don’t want to wish away time, but this summer has been an endurance test. Wherever you live, it’s likely some kind of weather stress and the underlying worry over what it means for our future has touched you. So I’m…
