The Diversity of Trees
There is something in the beauty of a tree
Branches reaching together for all to see
Hand in hand strolling, a path they create
Strong and alone, a sentry at gardens gate
It's mountains they climb on a forest run
Carpeting valleys, united, they act as one
The beauty of all with their leaves so unique
Needles cover like fur and each looks so chic
Colors are brilliant with foliage and flowers
Spring brings growth with its sun and showers
Look over there as trees brightly glisten
Branches sing in the breeze just stop and listen
As Shade, food or home there are uses galore
No wonder trees have so many hues we adore
So many differences yet so much the same
A multitude of types, too many to name
United, all branches grow towards the sky
Reaching with glory to see just how high
Such variety of trees, yet everything's all right
Separate and together, they reach the same light
Look around, see their vibrant beauty with ease
Now go and Celebrate the Diversity of Trees

And I dare add, we could all learn a lesson or two from a tree...

Hi Nina.... I love trees---all of them. They really are diverse!!!! Love your poem....
That little piebald deer is so precious also. He looks like someone has splashed some white paint on him... Cute!!!!
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy
Beautiful, Nina. I so love trees and consider myself a tree hugger. Gorgeous photos and a reminder to keep eyes open for those wee bright little buds.
Beautiful, Nina. I love trees. One of my most favorite things in the world is to walk in the forest amongst the cool giants and just see. And feel.
Good morning Nina
I love hugging trees. I was in the city last week down by The Rocks area and saw a wonderful tree standing tall and strong and with so much character. It called me over for a hug which of course I obliged.
We can definitely learn a lesson or two from a tree if we listen.
Lovely poem and photos Nina.
Big hugs

Oh yes. I don't think I'll ever be too old to sit in a tree if the sitting branch is easy enought to reach. I think we all have felt the energy of trees as we walk among. Your poem was just lovely. Thank you.
I love your poem on nature, and the pictures are gorgeous, especially the ..what did u call them again? Piebald deer?
Sending you lots of love, hugs& smiles,

I love the images you've created here...hand in hand strolling, carpeting valleys, united...This is an extraordinary poem...very Frost-like...and he's one of my all time favorites...and guess what that means? So are YOU!!! Have a wonderful week! ~Janine XO
Nature sure can teach us a lot. How everything seems to flow with energy and beauty, like Betsy's waterfalls... Leaving it's mark and touching our heart and soul, like Clytie and her Random hearts. The repitition of the waves upon the shore, encouraging us to keep trying and working towards that which we love,Like words and paintings from people like Autumn Leaves and Sniffles and Smiles.
Or the clear breeze of clarity with the wise words of Miruspeg and Cloudhands. And the gentle reminder of spring, starting fresh and new... always cherishing the past like Silver.... And the reflections of ever changing Light through the trees onto the clear still waters of a pond, like the wisdom and passion of Laura Hegfield.
I learn from nature, and I learn form all of you ... Thank you dear friends,for enriching my life with your beauty.
Blessings to you and yours. Love and Light, Nina P
