A Pair of Trees

For a couple of weeks now, I have begun and concluded my morning walks under these rather large and beautiful pecan trees (4Runner in picture to give an idea of scale).

These have become a symbol/type of the trees in The Garden (Wisdom and Life; Mother and Father, etc). Standing between them, I am in awe of the massive canopy that surrounds me: the branches intertwined above, and presumably the roots below.

They provide protection from the heat of the day, a feeling of tranquility, a sanctuary.
