ceramic tree sculpture inspired by the Warren Woods in Michigan and the Somme woods north of Chicago. this is the moment of the year when trees really shine— their key roles (home or shelter or refuge for wild creatures, food for wild creatures, perfect place for lichen and moss to thrive, connecting and supporting their neighbor trees) are essential for a nature to thrive. it’s not very easy to see them all, but there are four creatures enjoying my tree. can you spot them all?

Happy Jenny's Birtthday! Today she would have been 59.

Years ago (on G+ so i can't resurrect what I said exactly) I started a "tradition" that goes something like this:

Jenny loved trees, so for her birthday, I like to find a tree to hug. Everybody, find a tree, hug it, 'cause Jenny is awesome & the world is a much poorer place without her.

(Yes, i was low on spoons so i just copied a past post but the sentiment remains as strong)

#ThickTrunkTuesday #HugaTree I gave my mothers ashes to this 800+ year old Oak Tree this week, also some tobacco and whiskey. It remains one of the most special places in London. Behind a small wall through a wooden door. The Chandos (call bill on the renaming to minchenden ) oak. Listed in the doomsday book. Sketched at 80” in the 17th century.

It’s 26 seconds of tree love.

Good Morning Canada!
Today is National Arbor Day which means we celebrate our trees and organize planting parties to increase the time spent raking leaves every fall. Did you know that Canada is ranked 2nd out of all countries in terms of trees per capita? There 422 trees per person worldwide (3.04 trillion trees) but each Canadian has 8,953 individual trees that they can hug. It's just science people.
