Penning Photography Daily

From a February jaunt through Carpenters Park, prior to the explosion of Spring green that we’ve been experiencing of late.

I was about to pass by this tree when I stopped short, staring at the round bulge in the trunk. It reminds me of the full belly of a pregnant mother, expectant with new life, ready to burst into newness.

The wonder of it is wrapped up in the mystery of the bulge. Why is it so? Sometimes the wonder has it’s mystery revealed, and the delight is increased at the complexities of nature, othertimes the mystery remains, leaving the wonder of the why unanswered, yet still wonderful.

Wonder abounds all around, and I find delight in seeing it. Mystery revealed or not.
