The Wisdom of the Trees

In ancient times, Trees were often referred to as ‘Standing People’, as the majestic ones stand in the forests across many lifetimes; they hold the connection between Mother Earth and the stars in the firmament above.

Even more than that, the Trees observe quietly without flitting about, like the humans that scurry through their forests, always absorbing knowledge and storing it for the ages.  One fine day, we will learn to tap into the Wisdom of the Trees…

    Gorgeous photo. I love trees, but find them so hard to capture. Very wise beings as you say.

      Capturing trees is a great exercise in perspective; how you use it determines the look of the tree in your image more than just about anything. The yoga tree series is an example of that, as she would change drastically from different angles.

      Just be playful and experiment to find what you really like.
