Cedar Tree Reflections


The rain finally stopped ... giving us the first sunny day in a long time.


I was drawn to the cedar trees out by the road ... their raindrop-bejeweled branches glistening and reflecting the sun.


The early winter sun made the cedar seem to glow from within, it's intricate patterns revealed ...


Down to the very tips.


I even saw a beautiful rainbow, smiling at me.

Cedar trees are special - ancient people called them the Trees of Life.
I think maybe they saw what I saw this morning.
In the sunlight after the rain ...

  5. These are so exquisite. I did some research on the cedar recently. There are all kinds of medicinal things one can do with the bark, wood, seeds and leaves of this amazing tree.

    The first and last photos just fill my eyes.
