Tree Trunks and Limbs

Recently, I sketched the trunks and limbs of some trees that live together within a half acre next to our house. Here are six sketches. 

“The trees act not as individuals, but somehow as a collective. Exactly how they do this, we don’t yet know. But what we see is the power of unity. What happens to one happens to us all. We can starve together or feast together.”
