You cannot conceive the many without the one…  The study of the unit is among those that lead the mind on and turn it to the vision of reality.

    I’ve read the quote now several times, Cherry, to get my mind around it. It’s true. The forest is made up of the individual trees….

    What I find marvelous is that each one, even from the same source, is totally unique. Not one tree, not one leaf, not one snowflake, not one grain of sand, not one star, not one living being is similar to the other.

    Magnificent photo, Cherie.

    Bit over my head, that one.

  4. A fine photo but I am wondering about the double moon. A photo taken through double glazing allowing one moon to make two, just to fit the quote, sort of, maybe…

      I saw the quote and liked it. I remembered I had the perfect photo to go with it ;-)

      A lot of the photos of ‘My Oak Tree’ are taken through the upstairs (double glazed) window. It gives the best perspective. At night if the moon is visible it gives a twin moon. I could photoshop out the twin, but I rather like the effect :-)

    Nothing more stunning than a sharp detailed silhouette against a clear sky backdrop.
