Hi DW, thanks for posting the pic of the dryad, yep I see her. Isn't it wonderful how we naturally connect with the things of mother nature. I wish more people opened themselves up to the signs & messages (from nature) that have always been here, waiting for us to notice them.

I wonder if your sense with nature has something to do with your living in South Africa as you did. What a beautiful & wondrous land. It always seems to be that places that have less industry, steel & concrete, also seem to have people who understand & connect with nature on a greater level, using nature as a guide & the spirits of nature beings as our teachers. I think it's because we as a people have implemented so many artificial things into our lives, that we forget or can't recognize the earths vibration. I would imagine that it is quite easy to feel the earth's natural vibration & communication with us, when you're in a natural place such as Africa.

My mom & I used to touch trees & sit in silence leaning against a tree treehugto try to communicate with them & feel what they are trying to convey. If you've ever tried it then I'm sure I don't have to explain the benefits of such an experience. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

Alisa is one of my only friends that understands this type of relationship w/trees/nature. She sees faces & spirit in trees all the time & is always willing to share her experiences with who ever is willing to listen to what she has to teach. A lot of the spirit that she communicates with in her sleeping hours, seem to first make themselves apparent to her in the pics she takes of the many beautiful trees around her property. Ask her sometime about the tree that she "almost" watered.

Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed it! tree
