A Thought for Us All


They are beautiful in their peace, they are wise in their silence.
They will stand after we are dust. They teach us, and we tend them.

These are great trees. I would have had a hard time resisting the urge to climb them when I was a kid.

These trees have such majesty. I wonder how many years they have been standing there and watching the seasons go by.
Great header photo, Judy. It tells a wonderful story all by it self.

Love the new header. These old trees are so graceful and elegant. It would be nice to sit in that gazebo and enjoy a few hours of peace and quiet.

I love those old trees. If they could talk, I bet they'd have some stories to tell...

Magnificent trees! I grew up in a very small town. Nothing much to do in the summer but lie on my back under a tree and watch the clouds...

That is comforting and beautiful and so are the pictures. It's nice to think of something having such stability in this often transient world.
