tree-hug on February 17

It was colder today, so the walk through the woods was a bit easier.  The snow was crunchy hard.

This multi-trunked giant offered many hug-options.

It was a happy feeling tree-family with young and old members united at the base.

A snow-friendly tree-greeter shouted out a hello.

While the afternoon-sun peeked through the trunks.  A cool reminder of winter-light.  

Nearby a highly sensitive branch (on a nearly horizontal long-leaning tree) miraculously found its way to the light.  Message: Hug while you can.  Find strength in what unites.  No matter the circumstance look to the light.  Peace
