It is quite lovely to start one’s day off thinking of trees. I take tree photos when out and about and then stash them for Sundays. And then I forget all about them. Now I shall go looking for a tree, one made especially for today, a bright sunny crisp fall day. I took this last spring as we perused the Japanese Garden, a place we both love dearly. You know the saying “women hold up half the sky?” This tree possessed that sort of strength to me. I thought that it would make a good “Sunday Tree” for that reason. Look close and you will see all of the new growth, fingers holding up the sky. Isn’t she lovely?
Japanese Black Pine – Missouri Botanical Garden
noh where 
YES! Sheer beauty! I recently wrote about the Ringing Cedars of Russia. Have you heard of them? Amazing stuff, my friend, am reading the books right now.
My friend I just just read your lovely poem, enjoyed the photos and skipped around Anastasia’s place. Wondrous.
What beauty–and what strength she shows.
Oh, and what a gorgeous place to spend your years, tapped into the beauty of the surroundings….
Thanks you Mel. We went there today. However instead of spending time in the Japanese Garden we spent the afternoon in the Chinese Garden. It was a delight.
Takes my breath away. Your Sunday trees are among my favorite treats.
This Japanese pine is simply beautiful.
