This capture of tall trees reaching for the sky immediately came to mind
when I thought of choosing an image intuitively.
What is it about trees which makes me feel alive?
When I look up I feel as if I am floating , as if my feet no longer touch the ground.
I feel the essence of the trees, their strength and their acceptance of how things are, the way they are,
without wanting anything at all to be different.
I have so much to learn from trees
How they sway with the movement of the wind
How they follow the flow of life.
When I look up to the sky
surrounded by trees,
I feel free
of all thoughts
about this or that.
I am completely in the moment
connected
with
the oneness
I feel
with all life.
When I close my eyes,
I'm no longer 'me',
I'm deliciously, joyfully,
a swaying tree.
so beautiful! truly inspiring :) I love every bit of it and I find your photography outstanding. xxo
ReplyDeleteYes! O
ReplyDeleteYou are so poetic in your descriptions and I could "hear" the rustling of the wind in those trees. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAh, gorgeous. Through your words and your image I became a swaying tree too! You captured such beauty, strength and life. Thank you so much for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I enjoyed so much your thoughts, very poetic :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sandra, what a beautiful world you create here with your photograph and your poetic words. Just reading them while looking at the beautiful light through the leaves brought me into your world. I also love trees and that appreciation is deeper from having viewed this lovely post.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like this photograph could lift you right up to the top of the trees...just beautiful, as is your connection to the trees. Thanks. Gail
ReplyDeleteAside from your beautiful words to accompany this photo, the photo itself has amazing details. The circular formation of the tree tops and brushing of the leaves all around is spectacular, enhanced by the clear light blue sky peaking throughout the open spaces. Some of the tree trunks are pale, and others are dark. A lot of contrast and complimentary coloring going on. The angle is breathtaking! Sandra, were you lying on the ground when you took this? Barb summed up how you are so poetic - very lovely post! :)

ReplyDeleteWere you lying on the ground when you took this fabulous vertical photo? When I lean back and look straight up, I get dizzy. ;-) Wonderful green and blue---and I'm so ready for those colors in nature, too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo. When I first saw it on your blog I went "ahhhh." This photo made me feel like I was being lifted to the top of those trees. Besides your lovely words to accompany the photo, the photo itself is wonderful!
