A most unique tree-hug this morning.

Many a woodland-story are recorded on the peeling reams of tree-paper.

It was a glorious time  in the woods this cold morning.
Picture
One of my favorite trees, the American Hornbeam, showed off its snowy-apparel. 
Picture
It's easy to understand why this tree is also known as Musclewood!
Picture
The sun lit countless mesmerizing snow-sparkles everywhere I looked.  It also made it feel a little warmer than yesterday, even though it wasn't.
Picture
A little sprout-being peeked out to see who was visiting,.  
Picture
Curious ice-smiles and stone-faces appeared through the frosty stream.
Picture
And nearby a squirrel snow-art display on a fallen tree.  Message:  Step into the beauty of the season.  Step into your heart and love for nature.  Magic, love and light await you.

It was COLD this morning.  10 degrees!  Needless to say it was a quick tree-hug.
Picture
I'm still looking at the ways the trees wear the snow.  Which was good because it was even snowing.  This tree caught my eye with its many terraced snow-balconies.
Picture
Was that a baby tree-owl in the hollow?
Picture
A sleepy looking trunk-lady said it was time to rest.
Picture
It was so cold even the leaning tree-X said it was enough.  Message:  Explore what you've never explored.  Be bold with your love of life.  And don't forget to rest.  Peace

It was an unusual tree-group.

They wore the snow beautifully.
Picture
In snow-filled nooks and bark-crannies..

Peaceful landing-places for the transitory winter-visitors.

And puffy snow-puppies raced up the tree.

A honking snowy tree-goose in flight.  Message:  So much to see with fresh eyes in this winter-wonderland. Step outside and experience the magic.  Be hugged by natures pure love.  Peace

There is something special about this part of the woods that keeps calling me back.
Picture
Today's tree was all about her curvy path to the sky.
Picture
A nearby tree-friend responded with a fun tree-dance-off challenge.

While other tree-neighbors were happy to just observe and keep to their straight and narrow ways.
Picture
On the earth-side of things a more sedate sky-view.  Message:  From top to bottom you get to be you.  Others will be who they are too.  Some will dance with you and some will just watch.  Find the beauty there.  Peace

Climbing tree-hugs are my favorite.

And this tree-group gave me a lot of hug for my climb.

And in case you didn't know, foam can form at the base of a tree when it rains.  Rain dissolves chemicals on the bark as it flows down.  This changes the surface tension.  The subsequent turbulence and introduction of air creates the foam.

I was looking forward to visiting this double-trunked shagbark hickory this morning. Though, I must say its shaggy layered bark makes for difficult tree-hugging.

And a laughing shagbark-clown looking down at me thought the whole thing was pretty funny.  Message:   Sometimes it's hard to get close.  Stay focused on the love.  And don't forget to laugh, it helps.  Peace
