Day 245 of Firsts: Climb a Tree

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.  ~Cree Indian Proverb

I have probably climbed a tree before. I just can't remember when and if I have any experience with climbing trees it obviously didn't help much today.

Photographer Mike Spatacco was on hand to make sure I didn't kill myself.  (He actually climbed the first tree to show it could be done. I just couldn't do it.)

This tree climbing adventure happened in a Berks County park where I walked among many trees looking for potential climbing candidates.   I'm only five foot two so low branches were a must. 

Check it out.



Sorry about the sideways video. Oops.  

The view from the tree was lovely.  No wonder kids love tree houses.

Trust me. Looking down from leafy branches is a refreshing break.  You might get a new perspective on your day.   

So go climb a tree! Just don't hurt yourself.
