Skywatch Friday: Growing Together, Growing Apart
May 25, 2007 Author: admin | Filed under: Faith
I еnjoy thіs tіme of уear because I ϲan ѕee thе shapes of thе trеes аnd thе vаst network of branches аs wеll аs thе ѕky. I lovе іt thе freedom, thе movement, аnd thе vastness of ѕpace аs muϲh аs I lovе trеes іn full lеaf.
I nеver ѕaw a discontented trеe. Τhey grіp thе ground аs though thеy lіked іt, аnd though fаst rooted thеy travel аbout аs fаr аs wе do. Τhey go wandering forth іn аll directions wіth еvery wіnd, goіng аnd coming lіke ourselves, traveling wіth uѕ around thе ѕun two million mіles a dаy, аnd through ѕpace heaven knowѕ how fаst аnd fаr! (Јohn Μuir)

Love them, great shot so lacy looking.
I love trees too. I use a lot of them on my blog. I had one post entitled “Stryker” that you might like. I look forward to reading your poems. Thanks for your comment on my blog.
Thank you for your generous comments. I love the theme of your skywatch post and how perfectly you captured it with those tree photos. I never tire of looking at images of trees. So wise.
The shapes of the trees are wonderful. Nice shots
thanks for the comments on my photo, I’m not sure what kind of tree it is but the white part is snow 
I like to look at the trees and think of the stories that they could tell. I’d bet they’d remember when they grew each set of branches as each would undoubtedly be associated with something they saw or something new they heard in the wind.
Isn’t it cool the way everything communicates? I see alarms spread throughout the animals in the forest; up one ridge and down the other. The more we know the less we know. I love the outlines of trees, too. Passed a great one yesterday but because of all the snow, there was no way to turn around on the backroad to get back. I’ll go tomorrow if possible. My SWF is here. Thank you.
One of my favorite parts of winter is the shapes of trees. Thanks for capturing that and sharing it with us. I recently posted a photo that caught my eye with the shape of a tree.
Lovely pictures. There’s a lot you can see inside a forest when the trees are taking a rest during winter. I like the John Muir quote; when I was much younger I did a like of hiking and backpacking in the Sierras and felt I was walking in his footsteps.
Always love trees in winter, yo get to see the ‘insides’ of them. thanks for stopping by my blog, happy Friday!!!
Nice pictures and title. When my son was about 4yrs old we were in the mountains on a trip and he was thrilled by all the trees with no leaves (We don’t see alot of that here). Anyway he started calling them “naked trees” I guess from a 4 year old perspective they were.
Sky and trees, very interesting photo.Look my sky at BOA LEITURAThanksLuiz
I never paid much attention to the beauty of the bare trees until participating in SKY WATCH FRIDAY.I really enjoy the pictures that show the beauty of the bare trees.They are amazing.
Splendid clusters from the trees and behind the SWF, marvellous your idea!
Nice contrasts. Well caught.
Wonderful! A friend of mine in Germany is very occupied with trees at the moment. They really speak to her. Much like, the way you have expressed yourself. Very, very nice!
Very creative post! I love your thoughts that accompany the photos.
I am a Tree. Freak. I am so happy you shared this. I so miss them. Living in the desert is sad for me, because they’re (for the most part) not here. Have a gr8 weekend, Sandy!
Lovely pictures! Always happy to meet a fellow tree fan, and John Denver fan. Bye for now.
Sandy, great photos for Skywatch Friday! And a lovely quote from John Muir…
Excellent post, Sandy! Any intriguing title, good photographs, and commentary. What more could one ask for?
Amazing!!! You view the world a bit like I do I think.I looked out my window one very snowy day and noticed two tree branches bending together in the shape of a heart, but you could only tell because of the snow… by th time I got around to try taking a photo the snow was gone and you couldn’t see the heart anymore.I’m waiting patiently for more snow!
I like the bare trees too, nice pictures and good title.
great tree shots - they look so abstract against the white sky.
I agree, I have taken so many pictures of bare branches against the sky - there’s just something about it.
I love trees.
