As 2020 comes to an end I've found myself wanting to revisit my favorite big-tree-hugs.

I needed this hug today.  It reminded me of my first tree-hug back in March when social distancing started and we were faced with so many unknowns.  No visits with family today.  Seeing all the beautiful snow gone was also sad.
Picture
Nearby a very young pine reminded me of hope.
Picture
The snow melt turned a quiet stream into a loud rushing torrent.
Picture
Tree-art on a fallen and decaying trunk still had a story to tell.  Message:  Feel what you feel.  Sometimes letting go is all you can do.  Hope is ever present.  Your story matters.  Peace & Merry Christmas

Picture
I think this is a young Bigtooth Aspen, a close neighbor to today's beech-friend.  It looked surprised to have a visitor stop by. The raised spots are lenticels, the pores through which the tree exchanges gases with the atmosphere.

This morning's pondering began with why would anyone need to go hug a tree in the woods when the temperature was 3 degrees.  
Picture
A little later the most amazing puff-clouded sky answered my question. To see this magical  view.  Ahhhhhh
Picture
I'm learning that some barks feel warmer than others.  This was a warm-bark tree-hug.
Picture
An overseeing tree-angel spread her protective wings down.
Picture
Glistening ice-crystal light cascaded through the woods blessing all those that stepped into the tree-world on this cold morning.

While trudging through the snow this morning I pondered how the rolling-hilled trail I was on was a lot like the proverbial story of walking to school uphill both ways in the snow.  Today's tree-hug was truly a welcome relief.
Picture
My new tree-friend, a snowy coifed birch, didn't hold back her amazement.

I was impressed with how her papery bark-swirls and twists played in the snow.

Her smooth lenticel impressed limb stretched up to the sky.

The soft curve of snow-crystals delicately placed in between the trunks inspired wonder. Message: Imagine the gentle flow of nature shaping your life.  The ups and downs, the struggles and times of relief.  All part of the Way.  Imagine peace

And then things changed ... a lot.  A midday tree-hug after a strenuous snowshoe trek.
Picture
This oak-lady's flowing snow-gown caught my eye.  She and her shagbark hickory partner made a lovely couple.
Picture
I now have a new curiosity.  How do the trees wear the snow?  Tucked into crevices and folds or splashed like portraits of wolves or jesters or dancing unicorns?
Picture
As the cold sun peeked through it warmed my mind to seeing the beauty and mystery of the snowy winter-woods.
Picture
What a blessing to travel through the seasons with the trees ... and you sharing this journey with me.  Message:  Be bold.  Bundle up.  Visit the magic outside your four walls.  Nature is an ever-present year-round adventure.  Peace
Picture
Me, bundled up and snow-shoed.

At the beginning of my tree-hug this morning I got a quick message.  It said that this tree was receiving tree-hug energy from all the previous trees I had hugged.  I hadn't thought of the energy being passed through me this way.
Picture
Two delicate young tree-beings seek their way.
To the sky and the light.
Picture
Appreciating the guidance of their watchful tree-elders.  And today's gift of hug-energy from their woodland cousins.

Elsewhere on the trail snow-blossoms on the bare branches, winter's version of spring.  Message:  Listen to nature.  Energy flows from us, to us, and through us.  Subtle and powerful.  New beginnings are at hand.  Be grateful for the wise ones in your life.  Peace

A powerful tree-hug this morning.

Streaks of tears on a camouflaged tree-creature.

A bushy eyed tree-grinch didn't dampen my spirits.

We came upon this fallen tree yesterday.  I was amazed to see it was still alive and had to give it a hug. Today I returned to get more pictures and make my tree-hug official. 
Picture
It was a lot colder today with some icy precipitation.  
Picture
Walking, very carefully, along the trunk was like entering a special new tree-world.
Picture
Branches transformed into trunks growing upward, part of a complete landscape laying in the pond.
Picture
A moss-backed root-being pointed  its delicate finger at the icy pellets.
Picture
Yesterday's sunshine lit the golden leaves beneath the ice.  A lesson in reflection and perception.
Picture
Down the path a ways, on the inside of some fallen bark, an abstract masterpiece!  Message:  The marvels of nature are never ending.  Step outside.  Witness all that is hiding in plain view.  Be transformed.  Peace

An elevated tree-hug this morning.
Picture
I must admit that I've developed an urge for climbing trees. When I spotted this easy two-stepped one I had to indulge.
Picture
I also love imagining the lives of the varied tree-beings.  Like these regal tree-ladies up high sharing resources and responsibilities in a most balanced way.
Picture
And a much less obvious bark-creature carrying off a nut for his winter nourishment.
Picture
Message:  From top to bottom, inside and out, obvious and hidden, life carries on.  We work, we have fun, we gather, we share.  Treasure it all.  Peace
