Julie has a wonderful blog called Land of Lost Luggage
She's got a cool collaboration going on - pick a tree - any tree- your favorite tree- or a tree you'd like to become acquainted with! In photographs, Julie wants us to follow the changes in that chosen tree, from summer to fall, and winter to spring.
Kinda neat, huh?
Got to her link above for the exact details, but get out there and take some pix, before the trees start to change - time is running out!!!
I chose the mighty oak (at least I'm pretty sure it's an oak - it's definitely mighty!!! I will have to look it up and be sure!!!)
A Forest Hymn
by Wm Cullen Bryant
..............Be it ours to meditate,
In these calm shades, thy milder majesty,
And to the beautiful order of the works
Learn to conform the order of our lives.
I'm going to take a photo of the huge tree right behind our home..It is Oak as well. I think this tree must have been here before this country was founded..but it is frightfully close to the house.
