Monocacy - Up Close and Personal: Part II

Alas, the journey continues. I walk along the creek of the Monocacy in Bethlehem and come upon a tree. Not a difficult thing to do - it is, after all, a creek bed. This tree grabbed my attention. Perhaps it was the way it decided to grow right along the creek bed. Maybe it was the way it was partnered with the water flowing through the rocks...it whispered "hey, come here and sit...relax...breath."

Imagine yourself sitting with your back against the trunk, listening to the water flow behind you. Imagine you close your eyes and just feel the weight of the world lifted off of your shoulders...mmmm.

The tree is subtle and comfortably fits into the photograph as natures edge. I especially like the way the trunk protrudes in the center, breaking up the edge. As the water flows from the calm to the wild, the tree is always there to support - to ground.

Enjoy!
