My thoughts are with the people in the Halifax area of Nova Scotia as evacuations due to wildfires are underway. (Artwork has a stained glass effect and is not real stained glass.)

It can’t go up front; there’s already: one Cottonwood, two Hazelnuts, two Choke Cherries, two Elderberries, a Slippery Elm, and a Maple. Lining the driveway: one Bigleaf Maple, one Japanese Maple, one Oak, one Ponderosa Pine, a Walnut, and a Photinia. So… somewhere in back, with the Apples, Pears, Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Cherries, Plums, Quince, Medlar, the ancient Willow, an Oak, the Fig, and Witch Hazel.
(Had to edit a few times, as I wander around looking for a spot).

This is one of my more #abstract versions of my tree artwork with a stained glass effect. I call it Tree Energy.

I finally repotted the volunteer saplings in the larger pots. I think they’re elm, but not sure. I had them growing in the begonia planters for a few years. We’ll see how it goes.

#wild #plants (mostly wild violets) have self seeded themselves in #moss & natural mulch - at the base of a curvy #cedar #tree that hangs over a creek.

Several oak trees were killed last autumn along a path I walk, where private land meets a nature reserve. The private landowners needed to build an awful barbed wire fence apparently, in addition to stripping the land bare anywhere near it. So I planted some of the acorns that were left behind. Meet Baby Oak. (And fuck that new metal fence, actually.) (Except not literally I guess)

Just found out about #ThickTrunkTuesday and I'm all for it. My inaugural pic for this hashtag is the thickest I've ever seen, from 2016 in #Sequoia #NationalPark

Here's another attempt at creating 2D artwork with a 3D paper quilling effect. (Not real paper quilling!)

My #fave #GarryOak #OldGrowth #tree in #NanaimoEstuary ❤🌲❤ I've loved this #oak tree for over 7 years. I loved it, since my first time seeing & touching it, when I used to live in #CedarBC 🥰

Have you heard of shinrin yoku? (Forest bathing in English.) Every day I make it a point to walk through the woods. It's good for the soul...

I'm a proud longtime #treehugger - I love trees more than most humans.
There's incredible #magical #pure #natural #energy in #forests - especially #AncientForests w/many #OldGrowth #trees still standing. It should be criminal to cut down #ElderTrees ✊

Took this #trees #silhouette photo through the sunroof of Mom's car. By Blanshard St & Bay St intersection. Some trees along the traffic median.

Have you heard of forest bathing aka shinrin yoku? Trees have a lifeforce that you can feel, which is one of the reasons I make it a point to walk through the woods every day. I feel like today's tree is celebrating its life...

I've been known to hug a few trees in my time. I honestly feel like trees have healing energy and at the very least can calm a person down when they're stressed. So I have a growing collection of tree artwork because working on tree art also feels like a healing thing to do.
