- Bio
- "Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita," I find myself still asking some of the same questions I did when I was just a punk kid. The Big Things confuse me. Fortunately, though, many little things delight and amuse me, and some Big Things--my wife, our kids, our bird and bunny visitors, food, baseball--make me very, very happy. In my pilgrimage, I try to be guided by the wisdom of dear old Auntie Mame: "Life is a banquet!"

I love every single picture they make me want to go up place my hand on them and feel their strength.
once during a tai chi exercise, we were asked to embrace, hug a tree to feel the chi in a tree. they really have a LOT of chi, trees do.
:-) / R
4th. . .) look.
JALI: Gotta know when to keep your mouth shut, sabe?
Mark: Indeed: though they wouldn't be so near the water.
Monkey: You're pretty chi-ky yourself.
patricia, Pavanne: Glad you liked.
Torman: Loves me my Ents! Glad you found respite here.
toritto: See prior note.
Candace: You just like those shaggy ones 'cuz you're an unregenerate hippie. As for the lumpy-bumpies, well . . . can't explain it but that is the perfect description.
Sheila: Long's we listen.
Sarah, Jaime: Thanks!
designanator: Not smart enough to know all the names, hence I left them out.
scanner: They do, don't they, those beeches!
Abrawang: Think I won't fault her for that bit of playful dabbling.
Scarlett: Your circumspection is duly noted. I'm with you and scanner on the beeches too: among my favorite trees.
Algis: Glad you enjoyed a feeling of sveltittude. And the sunflowers were magnificent!
Karin: Come back any time!
ChiGuy: My words aren't too interesting these days . . .
greenie: Glad you enjoyed, sweetie, though I'm not sure about the eyeballs thing. There's a row of copper beeches on one lawn at Longwood. Just incredible. And I remember seeing some at Newport RI that were as large as (and much more impressive than) those blown-up houses!
and the one that looks like striated clay, makes you think it will bend to the touch of the hand
I love trees, that is what "aches" the most come September, how beautiful trees can be in autumn
I love these!!
Thanks for the good clear photos Pilgrim. They all bring big smiles...
All of them....
♥R
Mission: Glad to leave you smiling, my dear.
Fusun: Glad you came by to enjoy--I thought you would like these. Good to see you around!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!
