Sometimes it seems like things are in ruins. But life has a way of surprising us. Trust the timing.
This photo was taken by my amazing daughter, Ayla. It’s a young cypress growing from a stump at a nature preserve here in North Carolina.

Beautiful and emotional photo. This is what mother trees do, nourish the young ones.
Normally through connected roots, this is so special.

Was the original a cypress?

I’m not sure, but it sure looks like it was.

It would be even more interesting if it was a different tree. Our forest stumps harbour lots of different small plants

Thank you for sharing!!.. nature keeps providing us humans with a lesson we can all learn… “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ( Maria Robinson )… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May your day be touched
by a bit of Irish luck,
Brightened by a song
in your heart,
And warmed by the smiles
of people you love.
(Irish Saying)

That’s a beautiful scene, JoAnna. I think I could sit there a while.
August 14, 2022 at 9:47 pm
I’m glad you like it, Dan. I could sit there a while, too, as long as I have mosquito repellant. They’re especially abundant near the water this time of year. I guess that’s what’s so nice about photos! 🙂
