Wonderful imagery, Dr. C, both photographicly and poetically.
Dear Mike_P, welcome. and I appreciate y our comment. And I am glad y ou grok the image too. I've seen several trees growing like this, and it always seems so miraculous
with kindest regards,

It's not just a beautiful picture with poetry to match, but (this is not meant to be snide, but serious) I suspect a lot of Dem voters (especially Obama fans) see next January (replacement of the Bush administration) and the USA in that picture.
dear DLS, i think you are right, its a fit image for many many ideas about renewal
with kindest regards,
