10. Does a tree hugging a tree still qualify as a tree hugger? I think so! And what a lovely embrace it is.

14. Your sky is so BLUE — it’s gorgeous! We haven’t had much sunshine of late, and I miss it. You’re right: these trees look like their arms are open to the world.

    1. That day was a fine January day, that’s for sure. However, we’ve had our share of gray days, too. But I’ll take that brilliant blue whenever the weather allows.

15. When I looked at this earlier, I missed what those trees were up to. What a delightful image, and what a pleasing thought, that they’re enjoying the day together.

       1. I’ve learned a while back that great photographers can see what we all glance over, and capture what we can then seen (in their photographs) is a wonderful sight. Thank you for capturing it for the rest of us!

       2. Oh, thanks so much. My pleasure.
