Muir Woods National Monument is a unit of the National Park Service on the Pacific coast of southwestern Marin County, California, 12 miles north of San Francisco and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. When John Muir learned that William and Elizabeth Kent were naming a redwood forest near San Francisco in his honor, he declared, "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world." The couple had purchased the land to preserve its beauty and restful wilderness; and in 1908, they donated it to the federal governent to protect it from destruction.
Snow time is minimalism time!
I was searching for a place like this for quite some time. Love the nearly endless rows of fences that put the tree lovers apart. Wish you all a wonderful week! :o)

It is very simple to distinguish the different species of tree through this silhouette and I think that is what makes it interesting to tree lovers.

Cherry Blossom at Salem, Oregon.
155/365 These two pigeons didn't enjoy the rain any more than I did today, not sure I have been outside - shot this from my bedroom window, we have had huge amounts of rain today, been really depressing. Explored.
For tree lovers, The Scott Arboretum on the campus of Swarthmore College is a special treat for visitors to the Philadelphia area.
For any tree lovers out there, this Red Fir (Abies magnifica) clearly has what it takes! ;-) In fact, some Red Firs actually reach a height of 250' (76m). Also worth noting: the deep red bark of the trunk and classic tightly bunched 'snowflake' clusters of needles in the crown.
I'm still discovering nice moments of our trip to Cape Lookout.
I love to see here my husband and my kids enjoying the beautiful forest (And the photographer as a shadow haha).
My husband doesn't like photos but he support me in different ways so I can learn more about this hobby. He is the love of my life and my best friend.
ODC Theme: Trees
Taken 3 March 2013
I'm so over trees...so you get what's left after 2 days of lopping and chopping. See the last ODC for equipment shot. Sorry to all tree lovers, I actually loved this one but it was split at the base and had to go. It'll be replacing it with smaller red maples. SOOC. Just the watermark added and compressed for Flickr.
Enjoy...best viewed large.
For tree lovers only. Nothing to see here but maple trees! This is the same lane as shown in the painting and photo.
.. and the rather magnificent Copper Beech tree. Oregon is a paradise for tree-lovers like me.
('73-'87) Chevrolet Scottsdale, Ford Escort ('80 - '85) and, err, some other thing.
Over 100 species of trees in the Smokies! I was in Heaven.....I LOVE trees!

This tree was a slam on your breaks kind of moment for tree lovers..It just seemed soooooo out of place standing there among the wheat fields. I love how the farmer just left it.
I have had a busy, busy summer & am away from home again & won't be back until September..I hope all my friends are doing well & enjoy the summer or what is left of it.

Wild Dreams of a New Beginning
There's a breathless hush on the freeway tonight
Beyond the ledges of concrete
restaurants fall into dreams
with candlelight couples
Lost Alexandria still burns
in a billion lightbulbs
Lives cross lives
idling at stoplights
Beyond the cloverleaf turnoffs
'Souls eat souls in the general emptiness'
A piano concerto comes out a kitchen window
A yogi speaks at Ojai
'It's all taking pace in one mind'
On the lawn among the trees
lovers are listening
for the master to tell them they are one
with the universe
Eyes smell flowers and become them
There's a deathless hush
on the freeway tonight
as a Pacific tidal wave a mile high
sweeps in
Los Angeles breathes its last gas
and sinks into the sea like the Titanic all lights lit
Nine minutes later Willa Cather's Nebraska
sinks with it
The sea comes over in Utah
Mormon tabernacles washed away like barnacles
Coyotes are confounded & swim nowhere
An orchestra onstage in Omaha
keeps on playing Handel's Water Music
Horns fill with water
ans bass players float away on their instruments
clutching them like lovers horizontal
Chicago's Loop becomes a rollercoaster
Skyscrapers filled like water glasses
Great Lakes mixed with Buddhist brine
Great Books watered down in Evanston
Milwaukee beer topped with sea foam
Beau Fleuve of Buffalo suddenly become salt
Manhatten Island swept clean in sixteen seconds
buried masts of Amsterdam arise
as the great wave sweeps on Eastward
to wash away over-age Camembert Europe
manhatta steaming in sea-vines
the washed land awakes again to wilderness
the only sound a vast thrumming of crickets
a cry of seabirds high over
in empty eternity
as the Hudson retakes its thickets
and Indians reclaim their canoes
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti
(Poet Laureate of San Francisco)
The evening glow lights up the sleeping giants that line the cypress swamp canoe trail at the Cache River Wetlands.
There's something magical about Southern Illinois. Just thinking about the special places and the uniqueness of the landscape with its diverse forests and geology takes me there. Being able to revisit those places through imagery is all the more mesmerizing. I hope you experience the same sense of magic and wonderment in this image that I do. Like, I wonder what it would be like to paddle the swamp? What mysterious creatures live under the green carpet? Where are the other giants that live in the wetlands? And I hope you like the dreamy mood.
Note for tree lovers... the Cache River Wetlands is home to a total of eleven state champion trees.
