A passageway worthy of Tolkien
the penetrates the very mysteries
of tree and forest
let those so enchanted
pass through the portal
and explore his world
(remember to click on the photos for better images)
Ethereal Nature
The interface of the metaphysical, the physical, and the cultural
Ethereal Nature 
Amazing shots how old is this?

It was on a cottonwood tree, which grow fast, that was about 3 feet in diameter, so I would guess about 125 years old, give or take. For the age of the burl itself, I just don’t know. Good question, though.
Nature has so much to teach us and you are living amongst amazing land!
amazing photo!
thanks again!

Sharing the entrance to another world. Thank you Cnawan for this post
You’re welcome, Dawn. Enjoy the journey!
Ohhh, I missed this one! Enchanting, indeed!
Glad you found it! Passing through this portal has already led me to fruitful wisdom.
I’ll bet! You find the most magical places –inside and out!

Have you ever seen the art called Father time? When I looked at this I saw the opening as a mouth and all the knots and bumps as curls to the beard and mustache. Most art you see depicting Father time are of white headed and bearded men exhaling life or something like that. I like this! I’ll be back when I find that piece of art. Hope your day is going great! 😀
