This post will either excite you or you will go ho-hum because you’ve already seen it–maybe more than once.  I am breaking a self-imposed rule:  If I receive two or three emails with the same images I don’t use any of them, no matter how wonderful. I assume too many of my followers have probably already seen them.  Besides, I generally curate most images on my posts myself.  Still….these fit so perfectly with two other posts showcasing trees, that I decided to give them a try.  If you’ve seen these before, please let me know and I’ll be sure not to do this again.  A special thanks to the three people who forward me so many inspirational suggestions including this week’s trees:  George, John and Sam.  These images were originally posted on Bored Panda by Viktorija G.   If you haven’t seen them, I’m sure you will savor these remarkably determined trees.
