trees older than time
hush falls with fingers of light
somehow trespassing
reverent people
walk between giants, the smell
of warm, spiced sweetness

The image depicts a redwood forest. There are rays of light shining through the tops of trees. We see six people walking across one tree that is fallen between others. The trees have lush green leaves.

My mother-in-law lived by a redwood forest, so we got to visit it a couple of times. It’s really stunning. Beautiful prompt and picture, Melissa 💚
