Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding; for her ways are better than the profits of silver and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand, riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who retain her. Proverbs 3:13-18
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12

That first photo is stunning, with the sculptural dark limbs surrounded by lush green. So apt to illustrate the tree of life.
