Description

I saw this tree from the path I walk. Each time I've walked with friends I could never get them to go in with me to investigate. The cove where this tree lies is perpetually wet and not easy to get close to. Friends would wait for me on the path telling me they had a "bad feeling". Each time I took pics they never came out clear. It's a bit of a walk to this tree, but last week I went by myself, I was determined to get real close. The mud around it is more like quicksand if you don't watch your step. A recent wind storm dropped a lot of branches giving me a place to step. If one didn't believe before...they have to believe now, a tree definately has soul! I can't wait for winter, when all the surrounding trees have dropped their leaves. What an awesome sight this will be, stark branches streaking through mauve winter sunsets! i'm hoping to be there early this Sunday morning. If I'm really lucky, there will be a fog lifting from the rain we just had. That would be so cool!

Very unique, Michelle. Nature is a beautiful wonderment. Always something exciting going on somewhere daily. Be careful of that swamp thing. It's Halloween you know. Love Halloween, and giving candy away to these silly little creatures in costumes at the door. Hope you are able to see Dave, Sat or Sun, at least for lunch or dinner. Huggs...Silkylady...

Almost looks like a ceremonial indian mask, perhaps the soul of the tree. How do you see these things? I know you have great eyes but your inner vision is better than 20/20. Watch out for that quicksand though! The sign on the path reads "Please don't feed the swamp!" Sound advice I think. Hugs from Dave :^)
