Tree Art

I am back. And don't believe everything Birdie says. I have very very smooth dance moves.

So in our neighborhood, a very old tree died after being struck by lightening. And instead of removing the tree, the neighborhood association decided to hire someone to come in and turn the tree into a work of art.

It is beautiful. That anyone can take a dead tree and turn it into artwork is mind baffling to me. I mean how do they come up with this idea? How does one execute the idea?

Simply baffling.

I've been passing by this tree art every single day. Yet I never went up close to see it. This weekend I did and was surprised to see how beautiful it is. I can never do justice to its beauty by photographing it.

But I tried. And made a decision to open my eyes and see everything as potential artwork. I hope you do too.

PS: I can do a mean samba. In fact, if I do the samba, jaws drop. I am so good.

Hey, it is my blog and I can write what I want to. I dare you to a virtual samba competition!

When it was very hot, I used to sit under a banyan tree and ponder about the world.

Now, as I gained wisdom with age, I just crank up the Air Conditioner and watch TV.

Have I made progress or actually regressed? Don't really know.

Waiting for some relief. Might have to do the rain dance.

Awful

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness.
