Standing slightly downhill under a great old California Oak tree. Its canopy is much larger than the lens can capture but its twisting branches are impressive and lit by the early morning sun. An old wooden fence runs behind it along the roadside with green hill beyond.

This morning’s walk. Isn’t she a beauty?

For the love of trees.

Black and white photo of a grand old California oak tree, perspective from downslope from its center looking up into her massive branches and leaves. Wooden fence runs behind her.

A somber day of reflection, with extra darkness this year. Spent a few extra minutes here on our walk this morning. Needed to feel the grounding and the calm that this old oak gives to her visitors.

Sending peace out to all of you. We sure need it.

A craggy old tree & leafless branches fills up the image. A bright but cloudy sky, foreground of bright green grass, coastal mountains in the distance

Backyard moody view this morning. Coastal California Oak winter vibes 🖤 I really should paint this tree…
