I do believe that you will see the faces clearly as I do. Woodlands are magical , mystical places...I have always felt this way. Maybe it is the Cherokee in me or maybe I just feel the magick. They are going to be posted on my Goldenrod and Candlelight blog.

They are wonderful creations of God.<br /><br />Unfortunately, in cities trees are cut down in the name of development.<br /><br />Sorry, I could not read the poem because the color selection was such that I have to strain my eyes.<br /><br />Best wishesJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-30063129779910826132016-09-17T09:34:04.969-05:002016-09-17T09:34:04.969-05:00I hope you take some pictures and let us see them....I hope you take some pictures and let us see them.
