Look Up!, Trees Part. 1

"A tree is an incomprehensible mystery." -John Woodring

Hello everyone!!! I can't believe it has been as long as it has since I've been on here posting!!! Oh my goodness! Well, I have started a new sub-category in my "Details in Nature", section... it is called... "Look Up!". "Look Up!" features photos of nature where you need to look up. The first sub-category in "Look Up!", is Trees! So here is the new and never before seen category, of  "Look Up!, Trees"...


I took this photo when I went to White Cliff with my parents on a picnic (see full story in "Details in Nature Part. 1"). I looked up and what I immediately saw was a picture perfect scene. The tree's branches were out at lovely angles, the sun was brushing parts of the branches and the leaves, the trunk had detailing, and was off-center so it made the photo more interesting... I fell in love with it!!! So, I pulled my camera out, and took this photo... I just love the way how the sun gently caresses the leaves and the branches giving the photo a nice effect. I also love the way the trunk and part of the branches are off-center and are dark, yet I love how the blue sky just pokes out of the branches and the leaves... :)


I think that this photo represents the many levels, stages and ups and downs in life. I think that this photo represents the many levels, stages and ups and downs in life because, the branches and leaves make it look like many different levels, and the way the trunk stands tall supporting it all, is like the foundation and the beginning of it all. Because this photo is on an angle looking up, I think that it represents us, looking up, into the many branches of our lives. I think that the branches sticking out at many angles represents the leap between each level, and on each level, you will encounter a new obstacle. As well, because half of the branches are in the sun, and the other half are in the dark, it represents that life will have "ups" and "downs". Meaning that life will have it's good times, and it's bad times. I also think that the blue sky poking through the branches means that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that if you keep on going, there's a surprise waiting for you... No matter what the times are though, if you keep on persevering, and climbing up each level to keep on going, you'll eventually get to the top. And there you will meet an absolutely amazing sight... You'll practically be on top of the world! Not literally, but figuratively. Meaning that you will be ecstatic and you will be so happy and amazed. Because if you were to climb to the tippy top of this tree, you would see amazing sights; the ocean, the sun setting, the many different tree tops and so much more.... Not only that, but you would feel the wind in your hair, the breeze on your face and the warm sun caressing you...  I'd sure love to be on the tippy top of this tree... How about you...

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." -Albert Einstein

Hello Everyone! It's been so very long since I've posted!!! But, I'm here again. So, I took this photo when me, my mom and my dad got up really early one morning this summer, and went to Ambleside to go fishing. (Don't worry, we always release what we catch back into the ocean, but this particular trip, we didn't even catch anything. Oh well!) Back to the story though, as we were walking towards the fishing dock (and I of course brought my trusty pal with me... my camera!), I saw this amazing scene that you see before you! I absolutely HAD to take a picture of this wonderful, spectacular element of nature! The sunlight that reflected off the edge of the clouds, and the colours of the sun rising in and of themselves, were OUTSTANDING!!! I knew that I had to take a picture of it, and like many of my other posts, I was soooo glad that I had taken a picture of this wonderful moment in time...

I think that this photo represents nature and the earth, trying to break apart the "chaotic global warming layer" on top of the earth, that we humans have literally created ourselves. I also think that it represents a glimmer of hope that the earth will be able to seep into the cracks of this "layer", and break free of this never-ending spell that we humans have cast upon it. I really don't like the prospect of us humans destroying the planet that we live on by carelessly going about our days, worrying about nothing else but our everyday lives. I'm not saying that EVERY human is like that, but I'm saying that the general public is partially like that. Of course it's an exaggeration, but that's the general gist of what I believe. I wish that the earth and the human population would be able to live care free lives, and not worry about pollution, or any of the other hazards of global warming. Take a moment to envision this scenario. Imagine an amazing care free life, where people would be walking around the streets, while the air was fresh, crisp and clean. Imagine that the sky was the BRIGHTEST blue that you could EVER imagine. Imagine that the trees were a bright vibrant green, and that there were fluffy white clouds floating around the sky. Imagine a world where nobody would EVER even think of the possibility, that the earth could one day become a blob of waste, and that the earth's o-zone layers could literally dissolve. Now imagine a life where everyone would be walking around, going about their busy lives, while the earth was literally dissolving and roting away before their very eyes. Imagine that these people were trying to come up with new ideas to save the earth, but that these ideas were just sitting around, not getting put into action, while people were out making money. Now come back to realty. That last scenario that you just imagined, while I hate to tell you... but that's what I believe is going on in our world these days.....

I think that it's truly possible to get up out of this awful predicament that we have put ourselves into. I just believe that it will take people who not only want to save the earth, but that will take the steps to actually do it. I think that we are all capable of this, and that we all have it in us, it's just a matter of getting into action. Just think, if our earth rots away, what will happen to us......
