This older man was slowly walking up the hill admiring the tree in his path. When he reached the tree he put his hands on the trunk and rested there for a while. This was taken in Lars Anderson park in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Best viewed LARGE to see the man more cleary.

An old Chinese saying goes， “It takes ten years to grow trees but a hundred years to rear people”.
From Easter day at Skylands Botanical Garden, New Jersey. It was a very large and stately tree, I think they are cherry blossoms.
Tree of life Kings Canyon. The shape of the tree and the birds in the tree watching the sun come up, was I think laden with symbolism.
Tiny flowers. When passing by this tree it’s flowers look like yellow panicles. A close inspection reveals the even smaller colorful parts.
I've noticed Mistletoe growing increasingly in UK trees, so I read up about it and learnt that it's due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain, with many thousands now spending their winters here.
'Blackcaps are migratory warblers that are becoming regular winter visitors to our bird tables. Berries, including those of mistletoe, are an essential part of their diet. On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch. It seems that blackcaps are more efficient at spreading mistletoe seeds than other birds, such as the mistle thrush, which also feed on the berries.' - www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/12/where-does-mistleto....
'According to the Anglo-Saxons, kissing under the mistletoe was connected to the legend of Freya, Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.' www.thewhitegoddess.co.uk/articles/mythology_folklore/mis....

Not sure about the title - just a track from my favourite Beach Boys album. The lower branches seemed to echo the line of the clouds. Taken in Gower, South Wales.
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky.

I love trees. This special beauty was found on a hike near Lincoln City, Oregon
NOTE: It saddens me to not be on here much these days. I miss my Flickr friends =)
For those who might not yet know: my husband and I are caring for our 91-yr-old mom, so I am mostly using Flickr for a creative outlet and won't be able to do much commenting for a while.
Taken on our trip to the Virginia mountains.

Just caught the sun going down behind this tree throwing a great shadow towards me. I had to Manoeuvre around to get shade from the sun.
Fall Sunset Through the Trees is a photo from the "Devils Elbow" section of North Park, PA. While the sun was soon covered up by the clouds, I was able to grab this last shot of the day.
Will you float or will you sink?
Will you descend and greedily drink?
The waters that flow all around
What treasures below will be found
When you descend and do drink
The waters as you slowly sink

Walking across the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links, paused to admire the view towards Arthur's Seat, the huge, extinct volcano which sits at the heart of Edinburgh (the Old Town and Castle sit on a volcanic spur from this). Small, sparse clouds were drifting just below the top, so I had to zoom in and take a pic before continuing on my way.
One of the things I love about Edinburgh isn't just the history and culture, but that we also get landscape views right in the middle of the city. And that landscape is also historical - Arthur's Seat was one of the spots that sparked the interest of Hutton, who would become the father of the science of geology.
"When you go out into the woods and you look at the trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You appreciate it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn't get enough light and so it turned that way. And you don't get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying, "You're too this, or I'm too this." That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are." - Ram Dass
