Tree-hug on October 20

A joyful tree-hug this morning after much meandering and exploring in the woods.

With less undergrowth and leaves overhead the trees appear even taller. Tree-giants watching over their wood-land.

This tree-friend's straight and towering trunks convey a feeling of purpose and unity.

Supporting one another and helping maintain just the right balance.

As always, I am intrigued by the intricate bark patterns. They beckon me to learn their timeless language.  Tree-Message:  Stand tall.  Be aware of what is around you.  Find balance with others.  Keep learning.
