Tree Art

When I walk,

I love to look at trees.

That's how I first discovered

tree art.

Tree art is made by the trees themselves.

There is no graffitti

nor is there an outside source for the art

save a bird or a bug or a disease.

Take a look at the trees I found yesterday.

 See the eyes and nose and the branch tooth?

It reminds me of a little nymph in the tree watching everyone who walks by.

This was my favorite tree.

See the bewildered look, the one eye, the open mouth, the teeth?

I can only imagine that this tree is amazed that there are beings who are actually mobile

as opposed to the tree which cannot move and has roots deeper than deep itself.

I love this tree!

Do you find art in the nature that you see?

Another Stormy Night

This has to be one example of Mother Nature at her worst. For two nights in a row, Mother Nature's wrath exploded over us in the form of thunderstorms, local flooding, severe lightning, and tornadoes.

Luckily, there were no fatalities in this duo of evening storms. People did loose homes. Not far from our home, lightning struck a town house. The fire was out of control in seconds. Machine sheds ended up in neighbor's yards. Trees ended up on top of homes. Now, there is some flooding.

When Mother Nature goes out of control, danger comes. We were lucky. Now, it's time for clean up.

When Mother Nature Dresses Up

When
Mother Nature
dresses up,
and
her frosty veil
is
laced on the grass,
seasons morph,
leaving
scraps of summer
to be
remembered
as
we slip
into winter
and crusty leaves

melt

into
eternal frost.
