11 April


for the love of trees







perhaps one day we can listen to the lesson of the trees

and slow down enough to pay attention to the details
 ~
i may head out to the nursery this weekend
to purchase some pansies for the porch
so cheery
~
the weather has finally changed here
even when the wind is blustery the daylight temps 
seem to be staying above the mid fifties
I have been walking the beach in the morning
but as you can tell from the wind on the waves
it isn't quite sunbathing weather yet
  ~
speaking of wind...
 every time we drive anywhere lately we notice
plastic grocery bags blowing around 
stuck high up in the tree tops, in bushes, on the ground
please make a concerted effort not to use them
~
 it is the end of the school term and i have 3 papers 

and a group project due for one class alone

yikes

  5. Cheery flowers sound wonderful! It's too cold for planting anything or putting plants out on the deck. If it was warm enough the wind would hurt them. We have had 2 afternoons with very strong winds this week.

    Good Luck with your end of the school year paper and project.

  7. Did you know that out in The Savanna the trees are completely covered in plastic bags from the wind and the children are growing up thinkin that trees "grow" bags? I kid you not. Plastic is banned here in CA. I for one am very happy about that. Happy Friday!

  8. beautiful photos, I wish I were that soul on the bike on the beach. If we'd act on what we learn from Nature we'd be a lot further behind in destroying our world.

  10. Such beautiful photos and the words to go with them- so true. I think it wasn't until I retired that I really took the time to notice EVERYTHING! Using a camera every day helps! I think I'll go buy some pansies too!

  16. Brr, I can feel that wind on the beach. One of my favourite winter activities is to walk on the beach when the wind is howling.

  21. I laughingly call plastic bags the state flower of Texas! They are stuck on every bush you see. I hate them! Why can't people put them in the trash where they belong?
    I hope your nice weather last longer than ours! We were 90 on Saturday and having a blizzard Sunday night. Way below freezing again and the poor trees are going to look terrible for the whole summer. :(

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
