The Gift of Trees

Here I am back at trees again.  I just cant help myself, they seem to call to me...ill go running off the trail just to touch one visit for awhile and sometimes they will reveal their secrets to me.  There is a deep bond with trees they are givers constantly giving to us.

Marker, Signal and Prayer Trees

Trees are very very special beings to me.  They have such energy and give so much.  The special trees I show here are called Marker, Signal and Prayer trees.  As far as I understand their is no difference between Marker and Signal trees.  But prayer trees are extra special.  The Native Americans would shape signal trees to mark a path or to show where something significant is.  A prayer tree from my understand was used in ceremony's.  Enjoy their beauty, history and specialness.
