Tree-hug on March 3

Today we visited an area we won't be able to once the poison ivy, pricker bushes and ticks return.

A time for tree-celebration. 

Lifted by strong tree-arms as we traveled down the long and winding winter-road.

A monument of thanks  atop the tree-world.

Nearby a glistening snow-portal within a magical hollowed-stump.

Walking back we passed by the yawning tree.  I discovered that trees can be looked at upside down, too.  With yawn transformed into a great tree-smile.  

Last but not least, two signs of spring today.  Message:  Celebrate your strength and perseverance.  Step through the past into the magical present.  Be transformed and smile.  Peace
