With all of the recent rain and cool weather, the leaves are starting to change and the feeling of Fall is in the air. It was a crisp morning like this, that I went out looking for some corn husks for projects with the kids.
Every road I ventured down on my adventure that morning was full of surprises. Like this one, about five miles out of Helen, on a road where I had bought several stalks of corn for a dollar.
The huge tree in this picture caught my eye right away. Or 'trees', I guess I should say... You see, because after getting out of the car and walking closer, I found that this was not one, but two trees. They came out of the ground side by side, but remained separate for only a few feet, before wrapping themselves together in a way that they interpenetrated each other completely, becoming one single tree.
The living half of the tree continued to grow and was full of leaves, while the other had died and its branches remained bare.
It was beautiful.
Enjoy!
