  3. Mom and I will never forget our drive north up the Oregon coast and into Washington and the National Park there, absolutely smitten by the TREES- truly a spiritual experience. We played a tape on that trip that we continue to listen to reprising the experience. Your pics do the same thing. Thanks, Love. Your sensibilities and skills are truly amazing. D.

    • Leah, I see what you mean about the Salvador Dali Pine! How clever you are! And your compliments are so nice- thank you! Coming from you, with your artistic eye, it means a great deal. In your honor, I am renaming that photo 😉

  10. I can’t even pick a favorite , each one is intriguingly beautiful with it’s twists and turns and colors and textures. “Trees “by Kilmer was my mother’s favorite poem…. she recited it word for word until she passed –at 96! Love it… Tina’s and your blogs have become my favorite place on the internet. A very worthwile place to be.
