I think I screwed up my previous comment (if it was published at all). I was saying that I didn't know what kind of a tree that was, but Haydée says it's a birch.
Love the blue of the sky, as your GreatGrandmother would say. Enough blue sky to make a Dutch man's pair of pants,which meant it would be a nice day. Mom

Lovely photos as usual, Sandy! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteMy other entry is a bit like your theme. Except that I entitled it as Tranquility.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, beautiful photos. I love the blue sky background on your whtie birch tree (i think, that's the tree name)
ReplyDeleteLife's eloquence requires no vocabulary, other than its own.
ReplyDeleteLovely!

ReplyDeletei love them.
LOVE the shot up the tree -- the colours, contrast, and textures are just perfect!!

ReplyDeleteHave I said I love your new profile pic? If I've already told you, I tell you again! Ha!
I think I'll go take a walk now. This makes me very happy and calm. Thx for sharing such beauty. happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, Sandy. I especially like photos of trees with bare branches. I have a small collection--I am fascinated by the endless patterns.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I always do like pictures of trees. I feel they are trying to tell us their/a story. They often remind me of this poem, yours does:
ReplyDelete" Trees"
"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree. "
Joyce Kilmer. 1886–1918
I love that poem, it is the first I remember memorizing in school.
