Seeing the forest and the trees
We have a lot of trees here in Florida and my favorite is the Live Oak- strong, slow-growing, gnarly branches that grow in twists and turns. The spaces formed under and between the branches of these trees feel sacred to me- if I was a forest fairy, I would make my home in a Live Oak!
We have three Blue Heron nests in the pine trees out back- we are on the second round of babies for the year. These birds are incredible nest builders and their homes survive year to year despite a lot of windy weather.

Lovely pics, my faves are 3, 5, 7! These three all have some beautiful symmetry to them that's so alluring! Of course your last pic with the winking eye is enjoyable too! Great pics!
ReplyDeletei like #3 the best, the limbs are ever going to the ocean. it really pulls me in.
ReplyDeletehave you ever been to the Angel oak in south carolina near charleston, SC? it is amazing, 500-1500 years old making it the oldest living live oak in the country, you should google angel oak on johns island.
Amy - I always love your perspective!!! Once again, you have achieved a great array of pictures! #3, #4 and #6 are my favorites. These convey a unique approach (which is so YOU). Great topic and great post Amy.
ReplyDeleteAmy great pics. I cant even pick a favorite such a cool effect those corkscrew willows and those curvy trees gave. I loved them!!
