tree-hug on december 5

It was a cold drizzly tree-hug for me this morning.

But just another day in the woods for this tree-family.

A weathered Easter Island trunk-being gazed out stoically.

While other family members posed with a friendly tree-neighbor.  

A watchful tree-being, with a glint in his eye, made sure I noticed him with the help of some rustling oak leaves.

And of course the whole family wanted to pose again to show their love and unity.

Nearby a family of tree-fungi reminded me of the cycle of life and death.  Message:  As we live through difficult times stand tall and embrace the gift of family and friends in your life.  We grow through our struggles, deepening our understanding of what is important, watching the cycles of life.  Peace

Shapely tree-legs reached for the sky and were cleansed by the rain.
