“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.” ~Chinese Proverb
“Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other’s company. Only a few love to be alone.” ~Jens Jensen, Siftings, 1939
The large oak is located near the Miller Creek trail out of Happy Valley on the east side of the Rincon Mountains. — Images by kenne
I never saw a discontented tree.
They grip the ground as though they liked it,
and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.
They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,
going and coming like ourselves,
traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day,
and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
~John Muir
Great shots =)
Thank you!
What a grand old oak tree! John Muir’s verse suited it perfectly. I, too, enjoy wandering like the roots of the tree in every direction possible.
Thanks.
I love the oak tree, must be much older than 20 years 🙂 Great images!
Thank you.
Wow. That would be one of my tree friends!
Mine too.
That is a very homey tree. Good job capturing it’s heart and soul with your camera.
I really felt at home under the shade of this tre.

This tree can be considered an actor
in a story you’re telling or a drama
that you’re creating out of unusual
things in nature. Your tree plays a
significant role in becoming a symbol
of strength and endurance. — kenne
