As we stand here in the Present
Looking to the future
Our past pushes us forward
As we ripple thru time
In case you wondering the photos are of crab apple knots
A branch was cut years ago and the bark has been growing to cover over the wound
Those folds are each a new year’s growth

I truly love the images you share.
Taking photos is such a joy, I look back some of them and memories just flow, thanks
It’s very much a ripple, isn’t it? One wonders what was dropped in the middle. I agree you can’t look at something like this without thinking of mysteries like time.
Thanks I think a insect had made it’s way under the bark. I went back to the tree to realize that that knot was only 2″ wide I had forgotten how small it is
Neatly said! And an interesting image too.
Thanks sometimes you look at a picture and thoughts come to you of years of bark healling
Beautiful, Jon.
Thanks and I glad I’m not the only one who walks up close to a tree to enjoy the wonder
Beautiful photos to accompany a very neat point
Thank you Paul, as you know I’m not good as you with words, so my photos have to talk for me
Forget the words. How many times have I looked at one of your photos and gone boy I wish I’d taken that
Your tree trunk pictures are the best way to visualize the passage of time. We live linearly and go through Monday to get to Tuesday, like a tunnel, but if you look at time like on the tree trunk, where you see rings, consecutive years simultaneously, all from above. Tarot cards are a window in time, a bird’s-eye view of your options playing out. That’s how I explain it. Cheers and thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks, I always getting up close looking at tree trunks and knots over time. For me it’s an interesting way to go thru my days
In a computer game called “The Sims,” you decorate your house with items that are grouped and graded by comfort, use, and ambiance. For example, furniture and art objects are prime in beauty but low in comfort and service. The most expensive items have all three: use, comfort, and ambiance. As a result, your picture is beautifully decorative, soothing to the spirit, and can explain the passage of time. It has all three. Cheers!
Nature’s artwork. Very nice.

I sometimes lose slight of the everyday, but looking back it seemed be what always I got the most joy out of it
Thanks
Oh, the beauty we see by getting up close. Well done!
Thanks, I do get strange looks from folks standing close to trees on laying on ground, hopefully with a camera in hand they might understand
Just maybe. 🤔
