tree-hug on january 16

A dreary drizzly morning tree-hug with a magnificent new oak-friend.

An imposing woodland-presence.

The layers of its life displayed for all to see and wonder about.

A solid Taurean tree-bull with a direct yet gentle gaze.

Great love and loyalty bestowed upon his nearby tree-family and friends   ​Message:  No matter how cold, dark or dreary our winter-time may be there is incalculable beauty and honest presence awaiting us in nature.   Let it's mystery involve you. Peace
