Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in the details

Details

This is a tree I am obsessed with. I have taken so many photos of it keep going back for more. There is just something about the warped branches and odd shape that speaks to me.  This photo is just a little corner of my tree. Usually I focus on the big gnarled limbs but this time I got up close to the tips of  the branches. I just loved the way they were reaching for the clouds.

Here’s two other posts where I’ve used this tree:

The interesting thing is, I don’t have one photo of this tree with leaves on it.

DP Writing Challenge : Embrace

couple-embrace

Your love has encircled me, squeezing out all else. It’s embrace, both liberating and restricting.  Do I let myself get dragged down into the light or walk up into the shadows?

I want to run but as your hand claps mine, I know there is no way out.

Just different ways in.
