Daisy, trees are fascinating, aren't they. The whole design of the tree and how it works to stay alive is one that still amazes me. To be able to draw moisture up out of the soil all the way up to the top branches against the weight of gravity is incredible. The miracle of the tree is the carbon dioxide cleansing effect to sustain all the air breathing animal and bird life. It's pretty mind blowing to think about how important an ordinary tree is in the grand scheme of things.
so beautiful. that last shot shows how massive the tree is!!

DeleteNeat!

ReplyDeleteHave a great tree contemplating day.
I couldn't agree with you more. They are a source of fascination for me too.
DeleteWow, what kind of tree is this? I really love that last shot!
ReplyDeleteHey Leslie! I believe it is an oak.
