Last, a view from a beech. Less than five minutes walk from my house there are trees to climb.
This climb was special since it was my first solo climb. Perfect concentration - remember all the different steps, knots, the order of things. It worked. Up in the canopy, the beauty and life of green - as if I was feeding on sunshine just like the leaves I'm surrounded by.
