Hello and happy Tuesday. I have for your viewing pleasure today a tree - and not just any tree - for this tree is along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. I have taken pictures of this tree for many years. When I compare it to the other photos I have of it, this time I captured some of the fog about to overcome the tree. I love trees. And I love how this tree continues to "hang in there" (so to speak), even though it's leaning over the edge.
I must quote the poem by Joyce Kilmer every time I see this and other magnificent trees:
"I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree..."
...A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day. And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree who may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately loves with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree." ~ Joyce Kilmer
What true words! I feel the same way when I photograph nature. I know there's a higher power at work.
I appreciate that power and look forward to every adventure.
I hope you had an amazing Tuesday. thank you for looking. see you tomorrow.
