The ProtectorThis powerful protector spirit also has a sense of humor and a natural elegance. This noble protector stands at the entry point to the residential area of my family's vacation property in North Conway, New Hampshire. 

He watches over the comings and going of life forms who wander through the property. The main stabilizing energy at the base is a noble, smiling princely figure. Next to him is his familiar. I've never been able to exactly specify the energy of this companion figure. Sometimes I see a space man in space helmet other times a skier on skis or a cuddly big animal!

Bull Pine Close Up Friendly Lion

The men in my family are big guys, leonine in bearing, kind hearted, noble and natural leaders. I'd say I was prejudiced, but you can see the nature spirits have captured that energy in this powerful Bull Pine sentry tree!  Lion Head

In the mid-distance photo to the right, above the Protector, you can see a friendly lion. 

In this close up, left, you can see the lion energy - friendly, not threatening. But is this a human in lion headdress or a lion himself?
