    This is a nurse tree in Stanley Park. 7 different types of trees are growing out of one stump. Amazing

    Ducky, is that the east side of Mt. Rainer? I've only seen that side a couple of times as we live on the West side.

    GmaFoley: 

    Thank you for starting this thread! It's just what I needed to help lift my spirits on a down couple of days.

    I love your quote too.  Imagine God in His HUGE rocking chair, rocking you and saying, "It will be ok, you can do it. I will be right here for you". 

    Thank you.

    Not necessarily peaceful, but too cute not to share (we are in the middle of a blizzard right now).
