Its the grand, exotic trees that especially call to Julianne Skai Arbor the ones with gnarled outgrowths, tangled roots or hollows into which she can crawl.
She likes to drape herself across swooping branches or ease herself into small spaces, exploring the habits, curves and textures of the different species she seeks out around the globe and absorbing their life force.
The Sebastopol residents affection for the trees of the world has evolved into a unique vocation, one that forms the basis of a new coffee table book that features photographs of the author posing nude, enmeshed or intertwined in some way with different kinds of trees.
A certified arborist and environmental educator, Arbor espouses intimate engagement with trees as a kind of extreme ecotherapy, a spiritual reconnection with the natural world that is both healing and fundamental.

At least the monkey humping the deer didn’t publish a book about it.
LMAO!
Well, common sense would tell you .. the person probably needs years of intense therapy.
So, the comments here are bizarre .. considering the person is probably seriously emotionally ill (but as long as they can see her nude .. it’s okay); America is farther off the deep end than I thought.
What a nut!!
