It doesn't matter if you are five or fifty, climbing trees is fun! Forever a kid at heart, my husband @joechiappetta was excited to get to know this tree from a higher perspective. Some trees are just made for climbing, like this beauty in Southern California.

I am consistently amazed and enamored with the vegetation in this part of the U.S. Last night, for the first time in a while, it rained a little. I'm not sure how these trees and flowers do it, but they manage to thrive without a lot of rain. I am grateful for the beauty nature provides.

Thanks @old-guy-photos for inspiring us to climb to new heights this #TreeTuesday!
