A spooky-tree-hug this Halloween morning.  
Picture
Up in the snow-dotted tree tops this arm waving tree-conjurer reminded me of the Sorcerer's Apprentice (Fantasia).
Picture
While down below, in the core of this half dead-half alive tree-giant, I was greeted by a ghoulish tree-monster.  His big bark-hole eyes staring at me!
Picture
And finally, Felix the friendly tree-ghost holding his head.  I think he can't quite believe it's Halloween already.  Message:  Keep celebrating. Have fun. Life is good.  Peace
Picture
Some special pictures from my garden this morning.  After last night's heavy frost.

My first snowy tree-hug of the fall.  It is hunting season so the bright vests will be on for a couple of months. Please know that we are very mindful of the hazards in the woods.  I also feel like the tree-spirits are watching out for us.  When we got back on the road today the first car that passed us had the license plate TREECARE.  
Picture
I am enjoying seeing the 'bodies' of the trees again.  They looked especially beautiful today in stark contrast to the snowy sky.
Picture
This tree-friend revealed her elegant and graceful contours.
Picture
Stretching her mighty tree-arm up to the sky.  Lightning like tree-fingers spreading out across the heavens.
Picture
And a tree-deer in retreat high above the hunters.  Message:  As best you can embrace the changes of time.  Be mindful and marvel at the beauty and strengths that are revealed.  Know you are watched over and protected.  Peace.

A rainy morning tree-hug.  If you're looking for something to lift your spirits put on some layers of warm clothes and step out for a walk in the rain with your umbrella.  It is a beautiful meditation listening to the rain falling and witnessing all the ways the rain drops touch the earth.
Picture
Today I saw a fearless tree-climber reaching for the top.
Picture
Down below a happy tree-family heading out for a walk.
Picture
And a beautifully sculpted tree-man profile gazing out on his rain soaked woods.  Message:  There are simple ways to step out of your comfort zone.  See with new eyes.  Feel with the forgotten heart of an innocent child.  Be cleansed.  Peace

An afternoon tree-hug today.
Picture
The Kokopelli-tree-figure is what caught my eye as we were trekking through the woods.  A magical tree-musician playing his tree-flute to the heavens.
Picture
This section of the woods has a lot of large rocks and ledges. Many with trees growing out of them like this one.
Picture
That doesn't seem to be stopping this tree-conductor from playing his music high above the ground.  
Picture
And down below this smiling bark-gal in her fashionable silver-gray flowing outfit is obviously enjoying the music.  Message:  Take time to be present in nature. It is the simplest of healing.  Wonderful friends reside there if you slow down to meet them.  Peace.

A thrilling tree-hug this morning.  And did I enjoy it!
Picture
The view looking up from my sturdy tree-arm-perch.
Picture
It was like getting a ride on a friendly tree-llama.
Picture
An intricately patterned tree-angel caught my attention but was shy revealing her face to me.
Picture
While up higher this deeply textured tree-overseer was not being shy about his presence in the woods.  Message:  You are an intricate being in an intricate world. ​ Take a step out of your comfort zone.  Welcome a new perspective.   
Picture
 Extras:  A yellow poplar leaf.  
Picture
This was a tree we saw earlier in the walk.  The mushrooms are a sign that the tree is not healthy.  This amazing display of fungi on the tree was beautiful and a little sad. The dying and dead trees provide other living things, even trees in its own family, nutrients and opportunities for growth.  The forest truly teaches important lessons.

I enjoyed another special off the ground tree-hug this morning.
Picture
How could I resist this open armed invitation for a group hug? And the opportunity to meet some beautifully textured new tree-friends?
Picture
Like this curious swirl-nosed tree-being giving me the side eye.
Picture
And this very attractive tree-couple posing for their Autumn portrait.  
Picture
Then the tree-neighbor in the background making sure I noticed his pinstripe bark-suit.  Message: Our tree-friends want us to meet them. To have fun with them. To delight in their genius and beauty. To respect their role in our existence. To love them.  Peace.

Oh what a fun tree-hug!  It was nice finding a tree with a low branch to climb up on for the hug.  Just the right height for me.
Picture
I was welcomed by some special tree-bark-beings.  A tree-wizard holding his wand over a dried-leaf-bouquet.  Notice the dancing tree-neighbor wanting to be in the picture too.
Picture
​A powerful tree wise-woman.  Her many life struggles etched deeply on her face.
Picture
And a very curious looking barky trunk-being. I feel he has many a story to tell of life on his hilltop.  Message:  As best you can balance your struggles with simple fun.  Make new friends.  There is magic in life.  And messages in the trees.  Peace.

It's so much easier to see the trees now in the woods.  And a lot easier to walk with less undergrowth.
Picture
I was first drawn to this tree by its interesting bark and bumps. 
Picture
But then I became curious about the lichen which I see growing on a lot of tree.  I did some research later and learned that lichens are a 'complex life form' made up of a fungus and an alga(e).  They are not parasitic and do not harm the tree.  Among other things, they absorb pollutants from the atmosphere and can indicate pollution levels.  Isn't that interesting!
Picture
This bumpy barked tree-being thought I was rather curious looking too!  Message:  Be open and curious.  Learn and grow.  Peace.

A special tree-rehug this morning.  I wanted to see how the leaves were changing on one of my favorite trees.  It was well worth the trek back into the woods.
Picture
A beautiful beech tree-maiden, arms open welcoming the golden transformation above her.
Picture
Her delicate tree-fingers stretched wide to fully receive the light.
Picture
A solid beech-family at home on the hillside.  Message: Be open and receive the golden light of life.  Love one another.  Peace.

This morning's tree-hug. How different the woods look and feel. Beautiful in a different way.
Picture
This freedom loving tree-gal dances happily in the tree-tops..
Picture
While the tree-elders join again in council after the busy leafed-time..
Picture
There is something very comforting in tree-patience and balance.  Peace.

A lovely warm afternoon tree-hug today.  I believe this new tree-friend is a chestnut oak.
Picture
Chestnut oaks are identified by their 'massively-ridged dark gray-brown bark' and that they grow on ridges, like this one.  Its bark is the thickest of any eastern North American oak!  
Picture
Its leaves starting their color change journey.
Picture
Creating a beautiful background to the tree-snake-limbs twisting and turning gracefully high above the ground.
Picture
A young birch looking over with awe at its formidable tree-neighbor.  Tree message:  Stand in your strength, even on the edge.  Trust your direction and flow.  You are an inspiration.

A joyful tree-hug this morning after much meandering and exploring in the woods.
Picture
With less undergrowth and leaves overhead the trees appear even taller. Tree-giants watching over their wood-land.
Picture
This tree-friend's straight and towering trunks convey a feeling of purpose and unity.
Picture
Supporting one another and helping maintain just the right balance.
Picture
As always, I am intrigued by the intricate bark patterns. They beckon me to learn their timeless language.  Tree-Message:  Stand tall.  Be aware of what is around you.  Find balance with others.  Keep learning.

A beautiful fall tree-hug this morning.
Picture
The view looking to the top of this tree-friend was breathtaking.  When I think about the time this magnificent tree has been growing it boggles my mind.  
Picture
I am in awe not only of its beauty and sheer size, but the intricacy of its life functions. Its importance in my very existence humbles me.
Picture
So complex and yet so simple.  A solitary red oak leaf called out for my attention.
Picture
Our tree-friends show us every day, when we take the time to be present with them, how blessed we are by the elements.  
Picture
Message:  Love the trees.  Protect nature as best you can.
Picture
A different tree with another message.  Even when the tree no longer lives, as we knew it, it continues to provide sustenance.

This morning's tree-hug was all about roots.
Picture
These amazing revealed roots had many a story to tell.  They were woven and fused together in unexpected ways. 
Picture
Young and old roots working together to bring and store nourishment for the tree.  Agents of stability and balance.  Supporting the Standing One in innumerable ways.
Picture
Tree-message:  As best you can, know your roots.  Like great seen and unseen hands, they assist you in your life journey.  Stand steady with their nourishment and support. ​

A golden tree-hug this morning.
Picture
As more leaves fall the 'bare bones' of the trees are revealed.
Picture
Even though a part of me is sad when the leaves fall, I appreciate seeing what has been hidden from view.
Picture
Our tree-friends show us how to gracefully flow with the seasons.  They show us beauty is on many levels.  Message:  Keep discovering yourself.  Travel through the seasons with tree-grace and beauty.

Tree-hug before the rain.  
Picture
I love meeting these wonderfully expressive tree-dancers.
Picture
Its amazing how the bark adapts to all the twists and turns of the dance.
Picture
 In the forest, no tree stands alone.  And in this neighborhood there's definitely a dancing vibe.  
Picture
My tree-dancer-friend is even taking a bow.  Message:  Live fully.  Don't be afraid to dance to your own music.  It's never too late.  Be proud of your unique self.  You are part of a joyous dance of spirits.

 I dedicated this group tree-hug to those unable to hug a tree right now. And especially those in need of a healing hug.  May the healing energy touch you in just the right way.
Picture
Stand within the tree-heart of strength, patience and stillness.
Picture
Ever one with the energy of light.
Picture
Tree-message:  Turn towards the light and the shadows will fall behind you.  You are loved.   Peace, Harmony & Healing

A delightfully wet tree-hug today. 
Picture
Seeing the rain trailing down the bark of this tree-friend was beautiful.  
Picture
Its varied textures highlighted by the glistening water.
Picture
I wonder, when did I stop enjoying being out in the rain? When did I stop being witness to the miracle of rain showering the trees? Tree-message: Feel a joy you may not have felt since you were a child.  Visit a tree in the rain.  Be radical.

First rainy morning tree-hug in a while.  I felt relieved for the trees.  It has been a very dry year.  Drought makes the trees more vulnerable to disease.  This tree's lower limb was dead.
Picture
I saw a pensive tree-bear.
Picture
Another calling out into the wild.
Picture
Bark hanging off the dead limb.
Picture
Revealing a petroglyph of a running wood-spirit man.  Tree-pondering: The cycles of life, death and rebirth.

A glowing wash of colors above her head.

Spirit-faces on the bark emerged from the dance of the light. leaves and gentle breeze.

If you squint at this picture you may see a spiritual master appear.

A unique tree-hug this morning. Where the seed lands is where the tree grows. Trees have amazing determination to survive. 
Picture
This lovely birch spread its roots out along a rock outcrop.  Then, one trunk up.  One trunk down.  Then out and up.  Truly amazing.  
Picture
The view from underneath.  My imagination sees a mountain path.  
Picture
A grazing tree-unicorn.
Picture
A prayerful bark-being. Please help keep our trees, our air, water and land safe and healthy.  It is my prayer too!
Picture
The feel of the raised tree-bark-lines reminds me of Braille.  Perhaps this cubist-tree-being will help me read it next time.
Picture
And he says now ...... Remember, Peace .......
