"Pics or it didn’t happen!"
Well that sucks, I don't have pictures of it in digital form!
Cause my favorite place to be in nature is always up in a tree. 🌳🌳🌳
Yeah, you read that right. I absolutely love climbing trees, and just sitting up in the branches and hanging out - relaxing, reading, maybe even sleeping - has been one of the happiest of my happy places.
There was a favorite tree of mine from my childhood in front of my parents' house that I frequented the branches of often, and I know I have pictures of young me up in that tree - but they're print only and I believe are somewhere in one of the family photo albums my mom keeps.
It sounds silly, but I loved that tree. It was a solid, consistent place of solitude and comfort, a stalwart friend and protector. It was where I went to just breathe in some of the hardest times of my life, but about 10 years ago it was diagnosed to be dying and had to be removed as a safety hazard to the neighborhood pedestrians. 💔💔💔
I still miss it, and I think of it fairly often.
These days though, I'm happy to just be able to climb and spend time in any tree, though the opportunity to do so doesn't really come to me very often lol. One of these days, when I have the opportunity and finances to, I'll have myself my very own treehouse up in the branches of a new favorite tree, and you'd be hard pressed to make me ever leave it. 😂💕
