Yoga Tree in Autumn

·

,

I may just have to do a series of posts of the Yoga Tree in her various seasonal outfits; I’ll have to think how I want to organize it, but for now…here’s a little taste!

Yoga Tree in Autumn

As you can tell from this image, she’s progressing in dropping her leaves, which have beautiful shades of color at this time of year.  It’s almost, as if she is stretching out of a slumber that was induced by the blanket of leaves that she carried during the Spring and Summer months.

Looking forward to hearing what you think of this image!

        You are lucky to have such a photogenic tree at such easy access. Can’t wait to see what she looks like in other seasons.

        Yes, she is a true blessing! There will be lots more coverage, as I have well over 1,000 images of her 🙂

        Amazingly symbolic. One can imagine a Greek nymph running from a pursuing god, calling to a goddess for help and being turned into this tree.

        Interesting thoughts! I like the idea…now I just have to come up with the right name for this poor nymph.

        Phillida might work… Daphne and Phyllis don’t do it for me.

        How about Akantha? It means thorn.

        I do like that name. It has a ring to it that will stab when you least expect it 🙂

    I think she is so beautiful and I hope she has a long and lovely life. But I remember you said something about the area near by – that there may be something that could endanger her. I hope not. However, she will be immortalized in your beautiful photographs.

      Thank you. I’m keeping an eye on what is happening, and it appears that they are staying well away from the road, which is what she is close to. Let’s hope for the best. She is an interesting tree anyway, as she grew around a discarded oil tank (typical on a farm), which contributed to her shape.

        Oh, good to hear. And, she’s like us, we grow around the obstacles in our way – with any luck!

      That is a discarded oil tank, which must have been left there quite a long time ago, as she grew around it. She is a sight to behold!

        So the old rusty tank has been her companion for a long time, is she embracing the tank as you mentioned ” she grew around it” ?

        I think she may be embracing it, as the tank has also supported her…

      I would, but the people that own the land are not overly pleased with any photography. They have been harassed quite a bit about the work they are doing, even though it appears legal.
