Live Fully

We can learn a lot from our surroundings at all times, no matter where we are. This includes trees. This tree is obviously not very healthy yet it continues on, and is still quite an elegant tree. Recently someone commented on my gallery that I "must love trees", and they were right I do. You might even say I'm a "treehugger" Trees are much more advanced in evolutionary terms than any other species on this planet. They are perfect structures of nature, providing beauty and yet they are also extremely efficient in their growth/living. The bristlecone pine tree for example, has nothing in its genetics for death, they can essentialy live forever short of being cut down or uprooted from some sort of disaster. Trees Live Fully, in the moment, and this is something we can learn from them.

We can both be sure I will visit this tree again.
