“Life has a way of talking to the future. It’s called memory. It’s called genes. To solve the future, we must save the past. My simple rule of thumb, then, is this: when you cut down tree, what you make from it should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.” - Richard Powers, The Overstory. There’s a million photos I’ve taken of trees, but this one from my first hike in the @cairngormsnationalpark in Scotland with @hunting_stephen @marthakate.hunt and @carolineadelenikolaus is indisputably one of my favorites. Happy National Arbor Day and if you love trees and have not read The Overstory, go post up in a park and get going on it. __ #vscocam #nationalarborday #scotlandgrammer #trees #nature #hiking #nationalparks
