Correct us if we’re wrong, but nothing screams summertime like communing with a really fantastic tree. Not your cup of tea? Well, you’re lame, for starters; but what if we throw a little nudity in the mix?

It’s definitely Jack Gescheidt’s idea of a good time, if the TreeSpirit Project is any indication. Although the Bay Area photographer is probably less motivated by seasonal factors than political ones, his message is universally compelling, whether you’re a shameless hippie or simply well acquainted with your inner kid. Gescheidt’s works emphasize the beauty of nature and the relationship between humans and trees; the mission of TreeSpirit holds that:

If we cherish Earth’s myriad living organisms, even perceive all life as one organism we are a part of, we can alleviate tremendous and needless suffering, rekindling in our hearts a reverence for the interconnectedness of all living creatures and the feelings of joy and wonder this realization brings.

Kumbaya, say we. And if you agree that this project sounds like the bee’s knees, you can volunteer this Sunday from 5-8 pm and make some tree magic of your own. You know you wanna.
