Tree-hug on April 15

It was a busy morning in the woods today.  

My first tree-hug was with a spectacular multi-trunk maple tree-family.

An awe-inspiring silhouette against the over-cast sky.

Then on the way back we came upon this other-worldy tree in a field of skunk cabbage.

The exposed roots are a sign that this tree began its life over an older decaying tree-body.

I wondered about this infinity-eyed tri-legged alien tree-being staring back at me.

A twisting-turning root-universe.

A masterful creation of nature's grand root-sculptor.

Along the way I was enchanted by the perfection of a delicate leaf-birthing.

An abandoned insect birth-casing.

And a satin-ribbonny yellow birch root.  Open your eyes and behold the miracles of nature.  Be reborn.
