This picture taken by Jake in our local parkreminded me of Psalms 1
"Blessed is the person who does not
follow the advice of wicked people ...
He is like a tree planted beside streams ...
He succeeds in everything he does.
Verses 1 + 3
This old tree has succeeded just by being in the right place.
So true and a wonderful photograph to go with it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful perspective! Nicely done Jake. I think this lovely tree has put down good roots.
ReplyDeleteAnd so right too.
ReplyDeleteNice view up, you could just about run up it's hide like a squirrel.
It looks like a granddaddy Elm and has an even more beautiful shape when naked - showing off it's beauty against the sky or it's shadow on the snow.
Looking up a tree's trunk is something I do but not lightly. It is almost like a sacred thing to me. All the years it took to get up there and that it has no feet or legs to move it if danger approaches. That is stands tall is a tribute to it standing there.
ReplyDeleteLovely and so fitting for that Psalm! We need the "Living Water" to grow strong :-)
ReplyDeletePsalm 1 has always been a favorite of mine...good picture to go along with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo for a Psalm that is also one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteVery good blog, with marvellously posts and beautiful photographs! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of big old Maples along our driveway that look the same way when I look up so perhaps they are about the same decade or so. Our trees though are now all bare branches and their leaves are all over my lawn.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool photo! We have many trees like this one near us, and I often look up the trunk like your picture. The colors are perfect.
ReplyDeleteAbout my header. At the bottom of the hill is a fast running creek, ( great for finding fossels)and also a really neat home on the banks of the creek. The owners keep the small yard manicured so nicely.You can't see it till you're at the foot of the hill. Some day I'll take a picture of it. On the top of the other side is a super view of Lake Erie.
Have a wondefuul week-end.
What a great perspective shot! A view we don't take the time to see for ourselves. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI needed to see this... thank you... it's beautiful!
