In The Pines

"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."  ~Frances Hodgson Burnett

This is obviously not from the garden, but it is my Longleaf Pine research site, the Harris Tract near Holly Springs, NC.  It was a beautiful warm day, but windy with a storm rolling through, and I just had to share. I always feel lucky to work in such a beautiful place, minus the blackberry thickets.

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship." ~John Muir
