| This shot and the next two were taken on the usual gray day at the Arboretum, but these old, twisted trunks were so interesting to me. I look forward to going back once the sun returns and sit for a while and enjoy the beauty -- the sun will return won't it????? Her neck wiry translucent with the lines of a golden age, light wisps of baby leaved twigs falling across her crown, in anticipation of an imminent spring, she reaches out to the different young branches off her life. A touch here, a call there, a smiling email, and she brushes a light hand across her neck, as she gets up. Although she thinks she is moving elsewhere she still remains anchored firmly, below to the same land with the same memories .

Those twisted trunks are like poems of wood! Wonderful!
I enjoyed the quotes (well, most of them) almost as much as your wonderful pictures. Those old trees are amazing -- and beautiful.
Very nice photos and words, Sylvia !!!
Thank you
Have a nice week !
Love the sky and cloud shot, so amazingly impressive!
Wonderful photos - as always! Thanks for sharing your beautiful world! :D
I love your wine quote - so, so true, I'm sure.
Ha … ha, when reading the quote from Benjamin Franklin, I suspect he enjoyed a glass of wine now and then. Also, the tree trunk is incredible. Its vast twists and turns are gorgeous. The one wrapping itself around a pole reminds me of a sci-fi flick where a monster overtakes an unsuspecting city!
Beautiful series Sylvia. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful shots. The shots of the tree are interesting.
The tree hugging the post is a wonderful view of nature embracing the man made.
Love those big gnarled tree trunks - big enough to hug! Have a wonderful Wednesday Sylvia. xx
Beautiful shots and words, as always, Sylvia!!
I hope have a nice day!!
Love these quotes, Sylvia. Canada is smack dab in the middle of federal election campaigning! The quotes sound soooo true. :)
Everything is so beautiful.
Amazing trees. Poetry made out of wood :-)
the gnarly tree trunks are beautiful.
Those aren't twisted tree trunks, they are "Louis's" knees...
;-(
Interesting twisted trunks!
Yes, the sun will shine again , on Friday and Saturday. Hang on!
I love the old trunks too.
Beautiful gnarled tree trunks! Gorgeous sunsets. I like the JFK quote.
Have a wonderful week, Sylvia, in your lovely new home. Great header picture by your friend in Mumbai.
Great shots, Sylvia. I absolutely love that first one - the blue and white of the water, and the blue and white of the sky and distant mountains, they complement each other perfectly!
I'm about ready to have that Kennedy quote tattooed to my forehead. Beautiful post. Thanks for these serene views.
I love that gnarled tree and the vine. They look so stable and permanent! Lovely photos!
How these trees twist and turn, they know how to survive. Great pics.
You did a fabulous job this week with your quotations. They were all very prophetic. The pictures are gorgeous. The skies, the tree, and the white capped waves are all beautiful captures.
Awesome tree pics! As Indrani says, survivor trees can teach us something about the tough business of getting along with the world.
I like your tree trunks. They have such expressions. I also like the Kennedy quote. Whatever people think of him as a person they have to admit that he had huge leadershop and inspirational talents.
I like your choice of quotes today. Does that make me a cynic or a realist or perhaps a bit of each?
Those trunks have character! Love your snow capped mountains!
Enjoy your week!
I really love the photos of the tree trunks also. All your photos are so beautifully captured.
Beautiful pictures, but I thought your world would be "moving" now !
The tree trunk looked so unique. Another week of nice quotes. Have a nice day.
Interesting and entertaining, as usual.
Thanks again for making this meme happen.
The tree shots are just awesome, never seen anything like these before! Beautiful captures!
I like the way that tree has fallen and curved as it grew again.
Everyone has said it and perhaps better -- a marvel of a meme in pictures and words, Sylvia!
Beautiful set of photos. The curved tree trunk is amazing!
Beautiful photos, Sylvia. Did you take them all this week? I don't know how you keep up with all of them, but I'm glad you do.
Sylvia,they are amazing trees! One of them looks as if it were lonely,so it coiled a pole. Does the tree have will?
The sceneries of the sea and sunset are so peaceful and serene, touching my heart very much. Thank you for sharing.
The trees are amazing..and wonderful quotes!
So many truths in your quotes Sylvia.
The problem is we make humor with what the politicians do, to forget the impact of what they do.
Love your world and photographs.

Very beautiful Sylvia, especially the first one!!!!
I am so attracted to twisted tree trunks! These would have caught my eye too! Your ocean scene with the snowy peaks in the distance is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for the meaningful quotes, Sylvia...they are always a pleasure to ponder. Have a great "rest of the week!"
that root is gorgeous. Never seen anything liek it. :)
