Perico Preserve, a bird rookery, opened up across the street from us this summer. On a cool-ish Sunday evening we went over to check it out.
While wandering the trails, we bumped into this massive tree lying down on the job.
At first, we assumed it had just recently keeled over due to heat exhaustion.
WRONG!
After walking underneath the tree’s arching trunk to the far side, we noticed numerous stout branches straining skyward and several muscular roots keeping the tree grounded and well fed.
The tree did not give up when it fell down . . .
It adapted to the challenges of its new position, refusing to abandon its continual quest to reach for the sun.
Ain’t nature grand!
Aah . . . that’s better!
