Tree, Dear Tree,
In the Spring, you give the birds a place to rest.
On your lovely branches I can hear a family of Robins singing in their nest.
Some trees are short, some trees are tall,
But all trees are lovely as their leaves change in the Fall.
I love to see your reds and browns, but your golden yellows are the best of all.
How beautiful you are covered in winter white,
As you stand in the snow and your branches are frozen in ice.
Then again comes the spring so crisp and clean,
Waking you out of your slumbering sleep.
Joyfully telling you another year has gone by,
" Look up dear tree you have grown one inch more closer to the sky." ~
~ Jonathan George
I'm a big tree lover and this tree just happend to be housing a squirrels nest... By the way this sweet poem was wrote by a sixth grader ; )
From Easter day at Skylands Botanical Garden, New Jersey. It was a very large and stately tree, I think they are cherry blossoms.
Trees of Life
The trees line the road for a long way and they are all different, twisted and knarled.
Autumn beckons and the leaves will soon be gone.
十年树木；百年树人
An old Chinese saying goes， “It takes ten years to grow trees but a hundred years to rear people”.
A tree on the side of the road on the Wicklow way.
I have a blog post on this and the other images I took on a day trip to Wicklow here www.kieranrussellphotography.com/blog/2016/6/3/wicklow-way
This is, indeed, the very last Florida photo that I will be uploading from the winter-2015 season.
On my final evening in Indialantic, I had dinner at my sister Teri's house, on the western side of the island where I spent the winter of 2015.
So the view here is looking west, across the Indian River and the causeway linking the island to the "mainland" of Florid ... as the sun is sinking in the western sky.
After dinner, I went back to my condo, got a good night's sleep, and headed off to the Orlando airport the next morning -- back to New York City until next winter.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Apr 29, 2015.
*******************************
I spent the winter months of 2014-2015 in a warm spot on the beach in Indialantic, FL in order to escape what turned out to be a really brutal winter in the Center of the Universe, as well as most of New England. I'm now back in NYC, but I still have a backlog of Florida shots to edit and upload.
On most of the mornings I was there, I manage to get up about an hour before sunrise every morning, and be out on the beach for a morning walk just as the sun peeked up above the horizon.
On the very first morning, and every morning thereafter, I noticed that I was not the only person on the beach. There were joggers and walkers out getting their exercise, and *lots* of fishermen casting their lines out into the surf. But down by the 5th Avenue boardwalk -- where you can park your car and get a cup of coffee/latte/whatever from the local Starbucks -- there were lots and lots of people who clearly came down here just to watch the sunrise. This was particularly true after the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, for we then "sprang forward" and celebrated the arrival of dawn about 7:30 AM, instead of 6:30-ish.
These are some of the morning scenes that I saw -- the birds, the people, the long empty beaches, and the glorious sunrise...
These trees are there to talk about the air pollution, about humans and their garbage on the beautiful green carpet of earth. They have to do something to save the planet.
