As you can see i've been on holiday to Florida and hopefully catch up soon,
Disney's Animal Kingdom The Tree of Life,
The Tree of Life is huge. It stands 145 feet tall, and at the base it is 50 feet wide. There are over 8,000 branches in various sizes, and over 102,000 man-made leaves. Each leaf is over a foot long.
Image of a street in Pompeii. The left side has been excavated and the right side has not. The scaffolding helps to hold up the earth. I like the idea of the tree rising from the ruins in the background.
One Lily is joy and several are a pleasure. In the wondrous white flowering there was an unfocused centre ready to be composed into a Heart. The Heart was all ready fading, the bright petals were gently time spent mouldering back to soil from where they had sprouted with their moment of splendid presentation now fading into degradation. One picture repeated and repeated to release the central pulse from the Heart of Death and of Life to fulfil the flowering out of The Lily of Life not unlike the sephira of Tiphareth on The Tree of Life.

Tiferet (Hebrew: תִּפְאֶרֶת Tip̄ʾereṯ, in pausa: תִּפְאָרֶת Tip̄ʾāreṯ, lit. 'beauty, glory, adornment')[1] alternatively Tifaret, Tiphareth, Tifereth or Tiphereth, is the sixth sefira in the kabbalistic Tree of Life. It has the common association of "Spirituality", "Balance", "Integration", "Beauty", "Miracles", and "Compassion".[2]
Description
In the Bahir it states: "Sixth is the adorned, glorious, delightful throne of glory, the house of the world to come. Its place is engraved in wisdom as it says 'God said: Let there be light, and there was light.'" [3]
Tiferet is the force that integrates the sefira of Chesed ("Kindness") and Gevurah ("Strength", also called Din, "Judgement"). These two forces are, respectively, expansive (giving) and restrictive (receiving). Either of them without the other could not manifest the flow of Divine energy; they must be balanced in perfect proportion by balancing compassion with discipline. This balance can be seen in the role of Tiferet, wherein the conflicting forces are harmonized, and creation flowers forth. Tiferet also similarly balances Netzach and Hod. In that case, Hod can be seen as the intellect whereas Netzach is seen as emotion.
"Guardian of the Forest"
This is a 3 shot panorama of an amazing tree at the entrance to the forest, whose branches spread out far from its side as if serving as the "guardian" of the forest... thus the title.
The Tree of Life from Animal Kingdom at WDW. For this one I stitched together 9 hand-held shots then intentionally went a little overboard on the editing.
And also Animal Kingdom's 18th Anniversary!
Thanks for looking!

My Head said Triptych and my Heart made a Quadtych. My Reason as is often the case was of little use as Emotion had designs on a different notion. I followed Heart the chest wedge of appreciation and it was happy especially so as Head was proved wrong yet again. Dumb Brain trying to think bright solution after brilliant solution. Three became Four and they opened out ready to reflect and hopefully to soar with one extra wing into any and all skies and rise in the mind’s of any casual passers by. Unfold to to reveal what’s told nothing either new, or old, nothing charged nothing sold. Just a picture reflected and reflected on itself.

This thought provoking and very meaningful wall display is found on an internal wall in a secluded corner of the bustling entrance to Kings Mill Hospital in Mansfield.
It’s very beautiful and especially so when you read the small poster at the foot of the tree. I shall not write it here - it is for you to enlarge it yourself and zoom into the words. Your heart must be made of stone if it doesn’t move you in some way when you read them. You might yourself be a beneficiary or know, maybe a loved one, who was a donor of something vital for life.
Taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Beautiful carving all around.
Thank you all!!!------[Explored]
Excerpt from the plaque:
Tree of Life by Paul Morin
This is a peace tree. It symbolizes our interconnectedness and represents life itself. The branches suggest growth and renewal. For millennia it has been a primary motif in many cultures of the world.
I took a series of photos of this setting in late summer and posted one of the other images. When I was thinking about a New Year's greeting, I wanted to find one that had positive elements for the future. This was not an easy task, given the political climate of the last year.
This hand painted rock contains the symbols for both the Tree of Life and Love, signs of hope and growth. They represent what I wish for all of us. Together we can make it happen.
Best wishes to all of you in this coming year.

My final image from 2018. So glad to see 2019 and to be able to share this. Thanks to my friends Brian and Alice for taking me out to this unique place on the coast and putting me up for a week. Happy New Year everyone! Have a blessed 2019.
Its just a tree standing in the middle of a field. It looked unique and strong to me and I made it my subject.
Just a tree with nice texture

A lone warlock treks to the an ancient power: a tree planted by the Primordial Greeble Gods of Yore.
From it, a darkness emits ... ready to joust the summer souls of light.

If you wanted to see
the love I have to offer,
what would you try?
If you happened to be
my long-time lover,
would you make me cry?
If you really loved me,
you would discover
that my soul can fly.

This tree has been on my bucket list for some time. I was so happy we timed our trip just right to see it at the height of fall color. It is a beautiful little tree.
