Mother tree

I live in the woods. I am surrounded by these beautiful life givers, the trees. I breathe the oxygen filled air and am thankful for the miracle of photosynthesis. It is so easy to forget the dependence that exists between trees and ability to breathe and live. Humanity has complex relationship to the tree. We take; and what do we give in return? What is my awareness of the beautiful interrelationship that exists in life? This is another recent watercolor from November 2011. The Mother tree continues to gift and bless, nurturing us all.
