tree-hug on january 8

A bright and beautiful morning for a  warm-bark tree-hug. 

 If you haven't checked for yourself yet some tree-barks are warmer feeling than others.  This chunky thick-layered bark captured the sun's energy.

The hillside-stream sang sweetly as it flowed by.

Tree-roots and moss grateful for the essential nourishment.

I noticed on a nearby tree the sunlight magnified through an ice-droplet.  Message:  Be warmed and nourished by nature's abundant gifts.  Find light in the simplest of places.  Peace

A stick-figure ice-lady sat on the edge of the water happy that I noticed her ephemeral presence.
