tree-hug on january 21

Climbing tree-hugs are my favorite.

And this tree-group gave me a lot of hug for my climb.

Below, a tree-hand peeked out of a seamed hollow to welcome me.

The four tall trunks, flattened ridges and thickly layered furrows, made a powerful bark-statement.

Nearby, weathered-rock with a mossy layered-look made its own statement.  Message:  Find what you love.  It's okay to build your life in layers.  Make your statement.  Be you.  Peace

A tiny pop of color in the carpet of  brown leaves.  Another statement.
