948. elephant burial ground







thunderous silent feet
gather here to pass away
the elephant trees 🦊❤️

 There is a stand of European Beech trees along a section of the trails that I have been watching progressively tumble to earth. They remind me of elephants  as their bark is smooth and their huge trunks are  the shape of elephant  legs.   My friend Rob mentioned that his granddaughter Vivi also says they remind her of elephants. Rob commented that it’s like an elephant graveyard. Sadly because of their smooth bark they are more at risk for having irresponsible people carve deeply into their “skin”. Thank you Rob and Vivi for fueling this post. 🦊❤️
