To be in the presence of a shagbark hickory tree is indescribable. There are no words. Beautiful, wild, and majestic don’t even come close. It’s just as impossible to capture all of it in images. No matter what angle, what focus, how near or far, photos don’t do justice. Some things just have to be experienced to get the full effect – to simply be in the presence of these beauties. Hiking around this little life of mine, knowing I can go visit them whenever I want, knowing they are always there no matter where I am, gives me peace of mind and happiness.
