Tree Of Life-Connections
FFF Plus Happy Snaps
This week David (www.flickr.com/photos/108755156@N05/) chose the theme Connections.
No matter how often I pass by these ancient River Red Gums on my daily walks, I am in awe. As I stood to look at this one, I saw at least 8 species of birds perch on the tree, several with nests. They are old enough to form hollows that are used by birds, bats and possums.
The willowing branches provide shelter and shade. They give us food and materials used today and by ancient peoples to sustain life.
Below ground the tree’s roots stabilise and aerate the soil, provide food for the soil fauna, fungi and bacteria. The bark, leaves and flowers of the tree support thousands of invertebrates.
The tree provides us with oxygen and stores carbon, filters out pollutant gases and give us clean air to help our planet survive.
They talk to each other and to us if we are willing to listen.
They have powers to heal.
So many connections are made by this single tree to create an entire ecosystem and some of the most vital connections to the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants.
