during a recent visit in the woods of east Texas
between raindrops . I imagined the similarity
between these pines and people
we are tough bark and neighboring bright leaf . each intricate and unique
a reflection . our daily opportunity to touch the world in a subtle way
a chance to begin anew each season .. bright among soft fragrant leaves
lessons among the trees . always reaching . standing tall . next to others

The photo of the reflection is beautiful. Through all the photos I can almost smell the pine leaves after rain!
These photos are beautiful ... I love the forests and in the mist they have a special enchantment.
inspiring thoughts as always.
but the forest, oh I didn't realize how much I miss this...this green and rain .
that first photo is just gorgeous....
Gorgeous photos! Your posts always leave me feeling uplifted and enriched - thank you so much.
the kindred spirits of the earth have much to teach one another ♥

Really love!
Half my family is from east Texas... I lived there as a child... I know those pines. And people. :)
your words and images bring much beauty to the day ...
the simplicity of this space is a kindness.
it is also beautiful.
Lovely photos--lovely words. Your blog is such a nice place to visit. Thanks.
Love the brooding trees.
gorgeous land! i love the first shot the best... with that screen texture!
Texas winters look so beautiful!
As usual your words are like a poem:)
that last photo makes me want to walk there... so peaceful.
Your images & poetry help us see all the connections, Elk. We are one with Nature, Nature is a part of us. We stand next to each other like trees. The wind brings us closer together. :o) I just love this line: "to touch the world in a subtle way"...The top & bottom photos really embrace the feeling of connection. Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
I've had those same thoughts ..... I love trees!
So beautiful. I'm listening to these words and soaking up the photos.
Soakin in that green g/f!

Beautiful. Looks more like fall than winter.
thank you friends
the rain really set off the colors
.. it was like a mist ...
candace .. we have trees here that turn but that do not drop their leaves completely until the new buds force them off in spring .. that is where the yellow/gold ones come into this post.
this looks like home. :) the mists make it magical, and yes, it looks like fall. still. except for the emptiness of the trees that do drop their leaves.
