Trees Glorious Trees

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I love trees! I love anything to do with nature, but trees are one of nature’s beauties. And what’s not to love about them?

They have many different colours

Some grow up from the forest floor, giving the forest diversity

Some are weather beaten or their leaves eaten by insects and other animals, so they provide food, not just for the animals, but as they deteriorate they provide nutrients for the forest

Some may have died…

…but they still have their place where they once grew

Some grow together to create a forest of natural columns

They create a leafy paradise in parks…

.. and on river walks

They grow tall and colossal, like mythological titans

Some of them are ancient and have seen centuries and history unfold in front of them

Their branches grow like lightening-forks or reaching arms

They provide shelter and shade to other living things

They stand dignified as we pass by, engrossed in our own thoughts, walking under the arches they have created

There are those trees that grow out of water

And those that grow in towns and cities

They are fruit bearing

And they produce leaves of different colours, shapes, and patterns

Do you love nature? What are the things you love?
