To early man, trees were objects of awe and wonder.
The mystery of their growth, the movement of their leaves
and branches, the way they seemed to die and come again
to life in spring, the sudden growth of the plant from the
seed - all these appeared to be miracles as indeed
they still are, miracles of nature!
- Ruskin Bond, The World of Trees 
This makes me sad that we have really lost touch with early man. We need more sense of wonder.
ReplyDeleteTrees are still objects of awe and wonder to me. I hope you are feeling a bit better.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I am a fan of trees.
ReplyDeleteyes Nature is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd the wonder of it all never dies.
ReplyDeleteto me they are still miracles and your example here is proof of that
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo and quote!
ReplyDeleteThey are fascinating!
ReplyDeleteMy garden has many, many trees, and I love them all. At present the lilacs are in flower, blue and white ones waving in the winds. Even the oak looks pretty. I would hate to live somewhere where there were no trees.
ReplyDeleteI love trees. The ones around our garden are full of nesting birds and pigeons.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Beautiful against that sky.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise,
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better, these summer colds can really lay you low.
I love trees, big old trees, what have they seen, what stories could they tell.
All the best, John
Certainly miracles of nature and thankfully the forests in France are so well looked after they are growing rather than getting smaller. Have a good weekend Diane.
ReplyDeleteThey still are for sure!! Thank you for these beautiful words and for the reminder. Hope you are getting better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky. Miraulous trees. :)
ReplyDeleteMiraculous, I mean.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved trees. I appreciated reading the words here and the photograph you've used.
