An Arborist Paradise in Florida

A tree contains the wisdom of a thousand ages. A stand of trees can tell you stories of a peoples long gone. This is my version of an Arborist Paradise, in Florida. The golden gulf coast beaches run along a long stretch of varied towns, villages and cities.

Walking amongst the ancient, graceful, magical giants of the southern Florida landscape, I feel overcome. I feel teary, inspired and on the verge of discovering an ancient part of me. 

I can only hope that you catch a glimpse of this magical flare, this ethereal calling these ancient trees hold in our landscape.
