Tree-hug on november 20

An ever green tree-hug this morning.

I read that in general, eastern hemlock (my tree-friend) is a slow growing tree that may take 250-300 years to reach maturity'.  Wow!

Sunlight illuminated brilliant green needles.

Delicately petaled cones discovered.  My spirits were lifted.

I wondered how a wandering ant might feel traversing this jungle-like trunk-path.  Message:  Be curious, keep wondering.  Life is a journey.  Twists and turns and light. Treasure the beauty. Peace.
