Tree Hug

It looks like this photo was taken in the middle of six trees, but really I am standing in the middle of one tree! It is a tulip poplar and the trunk is very short and it quickly branches into seven large branches (although you can only see six, because one takes a sharp bend outward). They reach, it seems to me hundreds of feet into the sky. I really like standing in the middle of them. It is always peaceful and quiet.
