Is it one tree or three? A family or a complex individual?

Does it matter... as long as it's happy.  I'm drawn to old tree's, perhaps my druidic ancestors have left an imprint on my DNA. Like so many ancient peoples they believed that all living things had spirits. The more we learn about the interconnectedness of life the more it seems they may have been right!

Rainy Day In Camp

It seems to be a fact of life, we head to the lake for a few days of rest and relaxation, and invariably it rains.  What a good excuse to kick back with a book, or haul out the board games. Sometimes these are the best days of our holiday!

On this coast too often be set with hurricanes, only the supple survive.

These survivors clustered on the lee side of a row of ancient dunes, show scars and missing limbs. 

 Near a huddle of older trees a lithe young tree dances in the wind. The survivors seem to watch and I wonder what they may be thinking.

Marsh Mystery

Marsh Mystery 12x12 Glazed Acrylic, 

$285.00 CND free shipping in Canada

In these mysterious places where boundaries blur anything seems possible. 

Trees high step in water and muck with roots exposed and twisted into arabesques, 

creating hiding spots for creatures great and small.  

 Being less accessible to humans they are one of the last safe places for many creatures. The marsh is brimming with life. Unfortunately  those bent on "development" only see a place to drain, soil to harvest, and potential for new malls, highways and urban sprawl.

St Andrews Hollow

 

St Andrews Hollow

A tiny yellow brick country church, one of the last of it's kind, overlooks a shallow winding valley where a glacial river once flowed. Both unfortunately are one land that is zoned for development.

What a lose if they should fall to the developers 'dozers. Our insatiable appetite for  what those in power call development comes at great cost. 

These are some of the most fertile lands in North America, and the world. The question needs to be asked... what legacy are we leaving future generations?

Silent Witness

 The ancient live oaks of the hurricane battered south eastern U.S. bear silent witness to the changes 

wrought by humans through the passing centuries. We can only imagine the  tales they

could tell, if only they could talk.
