ARBOREAL PROJECT, the sheltering tree, part 2






This week, those of us participating in the Arboreal Project (organized by Julie @ LAND OF LOST LUGGAGE) will post photos of our chosen tree/trees...the first posting was in August. . .and here's MY playground tree, outside my former classroom at Winchell School, hugged and loved by thousands, photographed TODAY, and last week with a few leaves left, and in August.
It too seems to be a unit of
two or more trees,
gathered together for the good of all.
to nestle, hide, protect.
shelter.
dream.

    I have a strong connection to trees. Lovely shots.

    And I really like "art is a verb"!!

    This is a beauty Nancy! So full and green in the summer and a lovely yellow now. I love the skirt of leaves below her!

    I love that it's a "playground" tree .... easily accessed by those who WOULD hug a tree for the sheer joy of it :)

    p.s. I love your new header too

    I am especially drawn to the bare tree photos. I love the delicate silhouettes they create. Somewhere I have heard it said that tree branches look like the human lung and of course, trees are great breathers and cleaners of the air for mother earth.

    Love that shot with the autumn leaves as well.

    All the shots are beautiful but I think most of us are drawn to the delicate autumn view...the lovely ring of yellow leaves.
    I too like your banner!

    Doncha Love those trees that have multiple trunks at their base? I know the tree growers advise us to remove them but it seems like they want to be together. :)Bea
