A Smalley - "Embracing Roots"

Embracing Roots is another piece that went to Ron and Diane C. It was their second pick.  It looks a little like the roots are hugging the stone - a secure embrace.  This tree also has a prominent branch that has died.  Life involves loss - but continued perseverance.

Trees in January

Image
Here is a tree that has had a great voice.  It has a sad story - losing the main trunk, but because of a strong branch, the tree is thriving.  New branches are growing to fill the empty space.  Nature always does that.  It hates a void, and new life rushes in to enjoy the free space and the sun. This is a cute little tree.  I was trying a new style - and I like the effect.  It looks like it is stuck not only in the wind, but also the rain!

Tree Story: a Life Program
