    I’ve always felt that certain trees have a personality that makes them jump out and say I’m special. This is one of those trees. Real nice.

    Jurgen this tree is …..
    It ….

    There in the woods midst the tall straight pines
    creating an island of space
    stands the sprawling form of the giant yew [? elm? oak?]
    demanding yield to it’s grace

    For centuries now it has stood it’s ground
    and awed whoever came near
    Finally man has seen the value
    and the axe it never will fear

    Look up into the entwined boughs
    shelter neath magnificent canopy
    take note of the seasons it indicates
    and you shall find harmony!

    Thank you! ♥

  • jchanders replied

    Thank you ever so much for reacting so wonderfully to my picture. The old guy, actually a beech-tree, would love it, I am sure. Let us hope the axe will stay away for a long, long time. It would be such a shame. Fortunately this beautiful tree stands a very good chance to survive us all for a long time.

    Wonderful image! And to this I add this by C.S. Jung sent to me by my cousin in New Mexicao who online nickname is Trees Are My Guru>

    “Trees in particular were mysterious, and seemed to me direct embodiments of the incomprehensible meaning of life. For that reason, the woods were the place that I felt closest to its deepest meaning and to its awe-inspiring workings.”
    C.G.Jung Memories, Dreams, Reflections

  • jchanders replied

    Thank you ever so much, both for your praise and for the wonderful quote. It does say so beautifully what I often feel in our forests myself.
