It is difficult to realize how great a part of all that is cheerful and delightful in the recollections of our own life is associated with trees. ~Wilson Flagg, naturalist and author. 1800’s
Really?! A webpage on trees? "Why?" you might ask. That quote above explains much. So many memories attached to trees. For starters, I notice them. Everywhere. Every kind. I silently bless the ones that are dead but remain standing. I have cried when unhealthy, but still leafy ones had to come down. I sit under them. I play on them. I photograph them. I think of how integral they are to human existence and try to be grateful for all they provide.
