“Roots,” City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana. Photo by Vaughan M.
It is in the roots, not the branches, that a tree’s greatest strength lies. ―
About the image: My hubby shot the tree roots many moons ago at our favorite park in New Orleans, City Park. He shared this photo and other tree roots on his own blog some years ago. I am looking forward to the moment when we can visit the park and–more importantly–our family again.
I am joining Parul Thakur for #ThursdayTreeLove every second and fourth Thursday of the month. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link it back to her latest #treelove post.
The gnarly roots remind me of arthritic hands that visibly illustrate a life of pure servant hood.

You sound like my little one some years ago. He had a HARD time with pollen season. Fortunately, it gets better and you’ll be able to enjoy the trees soon.

Those are some very different kind of roots. Glad you shared since I would not have otherwise seen such roots. See you back here on the 8th, Chandra.
Thanks for joining!
