Arbor Day!

Trees.
I love trees. I love the knowledge they hold and the beauty they give the world. Their contributions to us are endless.

I never pass by an opportunity to look at or photograph trees. Recently, when I went shopping with my sister, she saw a large framed picture of a beautifully photographed tree. I walked in the store and Nicki pointed it out and said, "you're going to buy that aren't you?" It hangs in my hallway.

I love, especially, the tree of life. I bought this necklace as a gift to myself after I donated marrow. I wear it everyday to remind myself of how lucky I am to be healthy, to have roots that extend far beyond my nuclear family, and that the soil around me is rich with love, opportunity, and friends.
