The Secret Life of Trees 6

It’s like each one is saying something. My imagination ran wild and I started to see an expression in each one. Here is a sample of that discovery. Join me on an adventure exploring the secret life of trees. Click on each image to see a larger size.

    I love the imagination, I too picture people and monsters in the branches at night, silhouettes against the lamp lights.

    Very imaginative and ingenious for you to be able to connect with these trees! I often wonder what we would do without our trees. Trees are an important part of lives including ours and our children! Thank you for this opportunity.
