have you ever stopped to really think about trees. they truly are a piece of gods handy work. some are small, some are big, most are strong. you really realize how strong they really are when you live in northern minnesota in the winter when all the snow is piled on top of them and the branches just keep bending, some might break, some do not. it’s kind of like us humans. we carry alot of things on our branches at times, and i’d like to think most of the time we stay strong, or work on staying strong, but there are times when we break, could be a tiny crack, or a big break and bust right off. But the tree usually still lives on and keeps growing, as do we when we break, we go to sleep, and wake up to a new day and keep growing, learning and doing. trees are also so beautiful, each one different in many ways, again like us humans, all different, no one is exactly the same. it’s fun to stop and just think about things like this in our world, if we don’t we never realize how alike we are to so many things. we only have on world to live in, and only on life, so stop, slow down and look at things and take photos of things, it’s your eyes that are seeing it, if you want to take a photo of it, then do it, there are many times I have been driving and I see something and think that would be a cool photo, but I’m running late, or can’t stop because of some reason, but later i am bummed that I didn’t take the time for me. #takethetime #capturewhatyousee #choosehappy

another reason i got trees tattoo’d on my arm, and my three son’s signatures. all of them are such strong boys. Strong Willed, Strong Hearts, Strong in general.
