T 🍉<p>Aspen (populus tremula) eyes.</p><p>No wonder this tree was considered sacred in folklore: "When the aspen whispers, you can hear the dead speak."</p><p>It's one of my favourite trees. It whispers in the wind, it looks hauntedly beautiful in the winter. It feels calming.</p><p>This one grows near our home next to a parking lot which is why it's lower branches have been pruned. It then forms these eyes in those spots, pretty amazing.</p><p><a href="https://jorts.horse/tags/haapa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haapa</span></a> <a href="https://jorts.horse/tags/aspen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aspen</span></a> <a href="https://jorts.horse/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trees</span></a> <a href="https://jorts.horse/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a></p>
