For the Love of Trees

I love trees and always have.

The interplay of branches and leaves

to me, is so lovely and artistic.

When I was in my 20's (long ago!)

I wrote this little poem after walking down a tree lined path:

"Tree stuff is all around me: 

I am touched by the mist

of sun flecked green,

and a lattice-laced arch

 screens skyward before me

as I make my way through
 this 

tree heaven."

I think Joyce Kilmer put it best , when he wrote, in the poem " Trees"

"Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree."


I often take photos of trees when I have my camera with me,
and these are some of my favorites:

And I love to depict them in my fabric artwork:

Trees are always uplifting and beautiful -

Nature at her best!
