In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted,
bent in weird ways,
and they're still beautiful.

A Perfect Thought
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted,
bent in weird ways,
and they're still beautiful.

chicamom85,
Thank you for visiting me also. Looks like it's going to be a great weekend here, hope you have the same.

So love that tree on the top of your post! The other photo is good too, but I always find that old, thick, gnarled trees convey a certain majesty that young trees don't.
Indeed, a perfect thought. :)
This really proves that God is the perfect Creator :)
Ditto to Afternoon Tea's sentiments and I agree with Jan's statement. When life is tedious, take a few minutes to walk around outside; the beauty of this world renews the soul.
If only we could see people in the same way but we judge them by the way they look love your post.
I find trees in nature to be fascinating especially the different looking ones. Great photos! Jenn
Couldn't agree more. I've never seen an ugly tree - and I love taking photos of them too!
I love all trees, but the one in your first picture is truly beautiful and perfect in its imperfections. Such are we.

I like to imagine all that a tree has witnessed during the time it has stood rooted. I would love to know what the old gnarled tree would have to say.
"Nothing is perfect and everything is perfect." - Isn't that beautiful. This quote really aligns itself with Taoist philosophies of non-judgement and acceptance of nature and reality.
Hi Squirrel
So "Beautiful" I so enjoy your love of nature and all the beautiful places you share! Thanks for your visit Squirrel I'll be back to visit soon.
Love ya
I really like that quote. Thanks for sharing!
I would have to agree with Rae 100%. What has a tree seen in its lifetime? How many people walked by a tree and never even looked at it?
While I wouldn't call myself a tree hugger... then again...I just looked at what I'm wearing... yep I'm still a hippie chick, so therefore, I would call myself one. :-)
PS I had to copy your NeoPlanet. How dang cool is that?!?!
I love twisted old trees, but that first shot reminds me of the mean old trees that threw the apples at Dorothy!
I also love imperfect trees, they are so much like humans. I've found the ones that have the least outward imperfections have the most inward ones, humans that is.
You take these pictures with finepix? OMG, they are absolutely gorgeous! Especially this one with the tree! What setting are you using to take pictures outside? Very nice!
Hi All,
Thank you for the comments. The trees in this park are a little different. Actually the first photo and the last photo are the same tree. I move back and around a little.
Thanks again for coming and commenting.
Love you all,
SQ
I wanna be a tree now!!! Hey SQ .... lets be trees ..... LOLOLOL!
Ohh what a strangely beautiful tree indeed!
Btw, thanks for the comment on my blog. I also noticed we haven't followed each other yet too? Care to have that exchange?
