Very cool tree spirit art photography!
In and around trees once again, many feel they are a part of something bigger as people often do at the ocean or under the night sky. Sometimes the photograph seems to be an excuse to have fun or an adventure in nature again. People feel moved to climb, dance, swing or recline in a tree. Some share stories of how they love to sit under one special tree, or how they spent time in trees as children. Held naked in the sky by a tree’s limbs, excited yet humbled, feeling fully alive, people overcome old fears, or reclaim confidence in their bodies, or simply enjoy safe human community in nature. Some have a personal and powerful experience difficult to put into words.
I feel honored and blessed to document these gatherings because I have found a way to share my love of trees and my lifelong passion for being outside among them, in quiet surroundings, under the sky or the stars, feeling the sun, the wind, the rain, the cold. And a larger purpose has emerged unexpectedly, at once social, spiritual, and environmental.

Wonderful photo. Reminds me of Imogen Cunningham’s work.
That was neat. Thanks for sharing that.
