An Enso of Trees

Cedar posts, 1” x 8” pine boards, bolts, heavy monofilament line

An enso (a circular shape) is a Japanese symbol for the Zen State of Mind … of strength, wholeness and the Universe. Trees provide shelter, food and clean air, diversity and beauty. What would our world be without these marvelous beings?

Pike is a biology teacher and amateur naturalist who as a boy spent hours exploring the Merrimac estuaries in Salisbury.

Nancy is a sculptor and puppeteer who loves Maudslay trees and fields and the river that flows past it.
