Big ones, small ones, green ones, all ones!
Hi there. Nature lover here.
And in honor of that, I have decided to devote this post
to some treasured tree images…
The picture of the tree to the right is one of the best kinds:
any tree that resides near mountains. 😉
Dead tree full of character “living” in Rocky Mountain Nat’l Park
This tree reminds me of the one in “The Jungle Book” 🙂
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
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.
Poem by Joyce Kilmer 1886-1918
Q: What kind of tree can fit into your hand?
A: A palm tree!
Trees always capture my attention.
They stand imposing, resolute, and stately.
They can be cute or colorful or twisted.
A vibrant blue sky as a backdrop, no matter what the season, accentuates their beauty.
Believe it or not, all colors of the rainbow are represented in trees. (For example: Blue Spruce and Autumn purple Ash) 😉
Spring has sprung
A vibrant magenta crabapple tree stands proudly against a blue sky
Pink crabapple-tree blossoms add a delicate touch to a spring day
The magnificent Magnolia tree is an early spring bloomer
I saw this Redbud in a neighborhood and HAD to turn around and take a picture!
Sweet Summertime
Looking up and up…
These Lodgepole pines invite you to hike their trail
Saw these twins on a Colorado hike this summer
Burr Oaks are so fascinating–lots of character!
Fabulous
Fall
See de plane?!
Trees and house are color-coordinated 🙂
Colorful Sumac
Color”Fall” Colorado
A Winter Wonderland
The finale
Spring leaves make their appearance in full color
Old Town in Fort Collins, CO, is bespeckled with trees all decked out for Christmas
This red is almost unbelievable!
I love dead trees, especially twisted ones, too. 🙂
A perfect lilac
Essence of Enchantment
Each lilac touches wayward hearts,
with deepest blue and velvet glow;
The daffodils sprout yellow wings,
reaching out to join the show.
Enchantment is with us every day,
its essence stirs yet calms our souls;
As God displays His natural wonders,
life-long gifts that will never grow old.
Poem excerpt by Frances E. McClelland
Advice from a Tree
Stand tall and proud, sink your roots into the earth. Be content with your natural beauty.
Go out on a limb.
Drink plenty of water, remember your roots, enjoy the view!
Be like a tree! 🙂
A peaceful scene at my friend’s home.
The Tree of Life
“To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the paradise of God.” ~ Revelation 2:7b
That wraps up my tree post. I’m glad I got to share some of my favorites with y’all. Go climb one, sit under a Weeping Willow and read a book, or just notice the majesty of trees more often. You’ll be glad you did.
I know it’s been a while since I’ve visited you. Life is busy. Too busy, isn’t it? Hopefully, we’ll talk soon. Take care.
Blessings and blooms,
Pam
This wonderful specimen is in our backyard
