Thursday Tree Love: Reaching for Heaven

Tall pine with long arms

You must have a good reason

To reach for heaven

Beautiful arms! The split trunk too seems to be reaching for the heaven!

What a lovely tree and a perfect shot looking up. I love tall trees and they look like they are reaching for the sky if not heaven 🙂
The trunk adds to the charm. So glad you joined, JoAnna. Hope to see you back tomorrow 🙂

  Thanks, Parul. I wasn’t sure if I’d be there tomorrow, but you motivated me to check some recent photos I took at the park.
