moments held



dogwood and ivy transformed to gold and scarlet
against the back drop of a weathered wood elevate weary senses

abstract outline of oak and broken branches illustrate growth takes time

berries parallel life . nourishment and strength for others yet often hanging blurred and spent

deep lines and curves of life appear at all angles amid leaf with tender branch

growth and movement . strength yet spent . line and curve of life
heart suspended as afternoon light calls to the days end

Lovely nature photos - I especially like the first one. The leaves almost look like a couple of people sitting next to one another.

I love the words and really, really adore the tree! It's fascinating. I see so many things. I see the tree trunk as the sustainer of life and the branches are the unique expression of life! I see strength and I see the branches questioning what direction they should go! Oh, how nature represent us and we represent nature!

It's so good to stop by here, It's been a while and I'm taking a deep breath and saying, "Thank You for the beauty!"

Mommy Emily said...

i'm so glad you linked :) thank you for loving me. xo

As I am trapped among endless gray skies and white snow in the northwest, this post is so refreshing and full of life and vibrance. A lovely sight for snow-weary eyes and heart.
