One Or Another - Square

One or Another - A stand-alone tree with Autumn leaves by a fence in the wooded preserve - Color Photograph Copyright 2013 Frank J Casella


I’ve always been attracted by trees. The light and shadow play on the branches. The colors from the Fall Season.

But deeper, the formations from their environment and the other trees around them

.. Or not.

Trees, very much like our lives, all have a life of their own. Each one is different in their own way, though they may be the same kind: Birch, Cedar, Oak.

Some tree branches it seems are attracted towards the Light, while others it seems move one direction because of a branch or another tree forces them from another direction.

There are many directions that we can go in life .. One or Another ... The choice is ours.

"A good choice today will lead to a better tomorrow ... We have the power to choose ... Use ti wisely."
-- Zig Ziglar

"The stumbling block to the pessimist, is a stepping stone to the optimist."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt.

A fascinating image, Frank.

As well, I'm fascinated by your comparison between the individuality and the life
of trees and humans.
But do we really always have a choice?
I agree with you about the choice between love and hate or contempt,
the choice between right and wrong, the choice between courage and cowardice, etc.
What comforts me, however, is the certainty that I'm allowed to make mistakes,
and still be loved.
