Ing Phoenix , The Water Trees, Sunset Connect. (February theme: Great Outdoors)

These trees are by my home and live partly submerged for months of the year, together alone. I love that they "hold hands" as the sun sets-a gesture of unity in adversity. I've known them all my life and never tire of their beauty, strength and endurance.
