A Rich Man's tree

We are all looking to make our mark.  Years ago a rich guy decided he wanted to make his by having this built.

Macro Monday Frilly Flower

While at Oak Alley Plantation I saw this tree (bush?) blooming. No clue what kind it is, but love how frilly the blooms are.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

A ladybug paused to pose for me too.

Here's the "before" picture, the straight-out-of-camera one.

Sunshine warms my soul.  Even in my lowest moments I can feel myself reaching upward.

The Shoe Tree ~ Sooc #38

Driving between Devil's Tower and Custer State Park we discovered this shoe tree at the side of the road. Not sure why it started but since finding it I have also found a couple of shoe fences. . .odd.

Tree Silhouette sooc #28

I just loved this tree, perched high over my head and hiding the sun from me.

I liked it this way!

and that! lol

Looks like someone has got up there and but bags on the ends of some branches. Forget how they got there, but why did they?

Ever feel like you're traveling arduous journey alone?  The road has been cleared by many others who felt that way before you.

childish

I don't care how old you are, you're never too old to get down underneath the Christmas tree, shimmy under until your head touches the trunk and gaze at the flickering lights, getting lost in peaceful moments.  With any luck no one will notice where you're hiding and you can dream for hours.

This huge owl is a new addition this year and he's a hit! He greets everyone who enters. :)  {That's Santa on a butterfly next to him}

looking up

The trees are naked now, exposing their twists and turns, making no excuses for the way they jut this way and that.  Soaking up the sun and air on every single inch, resting, so that they may grow even more beautiful.  I see chemotherapy as a time of regathering strength, preparing to burst forth with even stronger buds.
