Transient leaves change colors, fade, fall, and die.
Enduring tree trunks stand exposed, erect, and live again.

This swing beside a dirt path in the woods reminds me that we often need a quiet place where we can think, play, relax, and just be by ourselves for awhile.
It reminds me of a Ralph Carmichael song that I learned to love years ago . . .
There is a quiet place
far from the rapid pace
where God can soothe my troubled mind.
Sheltered by tree and flower
there in my quiet hour with him
my cares are left behind.
Whether a garden small,
or on a mountain tall
new strength and courage there I find,
and then from that quiet place
I go prepared to face a new day
with love for all mankind

A lone saman tree sits high above a valley between Acarigua and Barquisimeto.

This determined tree overcame difficult odds to survive and now even thrives. This is encouragement for anyone caught between a rock and a hard place.

Saw this tree next to the road as I drove along the Octoraro Creek.

Foggy morning with light frost.
Weather and lighting often add a mood to scenes that force me to stop and create an image that conveys the mood.
