It’s 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 resident’s 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. And she hopes her work will inspire others, even if it just means finding comfort sitting in a tree’s shade.

A girl’s gotta have standards, I guess...
Any emotion, including empathy, when taken to an extreme becomes a knee jerk pathology that any tyrant can sink his hooks into deep with no fear of removal, ever; emphasis on the pathology part.
That should make for some "enlightening" photos... '-)
Look at the image I was replying to. I get a different “emotion” than empathy from it. :)
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!!
