Heart Tree
Tucked away, on the south side of the town of Los Gatos in California, there is a park-and-ride that serves as overflow parking for the towns post office. It’s not a convenient place to park your car to collect your mail but when there isn’t any street parking… well, it’s really just a short walk. But you know the frustration of not getting what you really wanted, in this case, a closer parking place, aarrghing you into a darkening mood? Well, that’s where I was on this hazy humid day. So it was with my eyes down and focused on my forced march to collect my mail, that I was interrupted by the loud buzzing hum of what I knew had to be an enormous bee hive. It’s a sound that brings up conflicting feelings of sweet lulling warmth and terror. And whether you find yourself thinking of Winnie the Pooh or reaching for your EpiPen, it gets your attention!
So looking for the origins of this buzzing fanfare, I found it literally in the heart of this tree! It just made me smile and that dark mood I was in… well, what dark mood? How could my mood not be changed after seeing nature reach out, with such a non-arboreal icon, to remind me to lead with my heart and hear the hum of life it attracts.
Anyone up for a picnic?

I love this Marco!
Thank you Shannon!
Wow, awesome photo! Sooooo cool.
You could make this into a card, perfect for a little “I love you message” or an anniversary.
Thank you for the reminder Kathy! I thought about that but haven’t followed through… I’ll put that up there soon…
Since Valentine’s Day was yesterday, this photo caught my attention. I love the old trees in town and this one is spectacular, as is your photograph. What street is it on? Love the card idea.
Cheers,
Avril
Thanks for your comment Avril! There definitely are some great trees in town! This one was right in the Park-n-ride heading south on Santa Cruz Ave. Along the fence it shared with the post office. It was on it’s last legs when I took the photograph and has since been taken down… I was really bummed when I saw that it was gone. I hope someone was able to harvest the honey!! I’m thinking it was very sweet…
