Tree Amigos - Sharing a environment and having things in common


All three of these trees are bent and formed as if facing a common environmental element — probably the wind since they’re located along coast of North Carolina. I call them the “tree amigos,” yes a bad play on words. Who knows how many decades these three have stood together in this spot. We humans are lucky in we can change our location to better suit our preferences or enhance our short existence here on this earth. Even so, there are those among us rooted to a location or even a belief system by history and ancestry just as strongly as these trees. But then, that too is a freedom, freedom of choice.

OK, I’m so tired of all the political B.S. that’s taking place in Washington, D.C. concerning the debt ceiling/deficit I’ve taken to avoiding reading or listening to news about it in order to keep my frustration level manageable. If in my power I’d fire every one of them, without benefits or any way to make money off their previous positions. During this time of hardship how dare they dangle us and the world over the coals of further uncertainty for political gain. My opinion, mind you — rant over. ;-)

In June I mentioned an upcoming cell phone upgrade and trying to decide between an iPhone or one of the many Android phone from Verizon Wireless. Even as much as the technical aspect attracted me to the Androids — decision made, iPhone.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. We’re getting a short break here from the oppressive heat and humidity for a few days. It was so nice walking the dogs this morning and not feeling like I was in a steam sauna.

The minute I see trees I am won over. These are rendered beautifully. There is something so strong and stoic about trees and that inspires me.

Somehow I just knew you would go for the iPhone. Enjoy!

There is nothing quite like a break from oppressive heat. Congratulations on getting that relief and I am glad you got to enjoy it with those pups.

Hi Earl,
Totally agree with your analysis of the DC bureaucrats. Wish we had viable third parties, although that would probably mean more gridlock. Perhaps “interesting” times ahead!

I love the way the trees mirror each other. Enjoy the iPhone!

I love the detail and the interesting shape of the trees. Nicely done. Looks like you still have some green grass, too.

I agree with your position on Washington. I have lost all confidence in either party to do anything that is good for the country. I’d like to send the lot home! Nice tree shot. I suspect I’m one of those “rooted” in a long history of attitudes that have been reinforced over many years. Oh well, who cares? :-)

Earl, it you want to enjoy some cool temperatures come for a visit to Astoria. This summer has yet to see more than a few day above the mid-seventies. My garden also reflects this too!

Totally agree on your rant!

I upgraded a couple weeks ago to the 4G from a 3G and also switched from AT&T to Verizon. Hope you enjoy the iphone and hope you enjoy the weekend. By the way what’s the status on Foster?

Glad to read Foster is doing ok, at least as of July 17. Mind you, I am still playing catch up, oldest posts first. :-) Also glad to see you made a wise decision on the phone.

I have always thought there was an interesting dynamic to groups of three, and your image here is a great example Earl.

What a beautiful image – those three trees remind me of graceful dancers, I like how the sun cast gentle pattern onto the branches. Many compliments on that fabulous photograph!
I wish we would have such summery temperatures here in England, it’s been rainy and cloudy for at least 10 days and I already miss the summer.
