Trees

Trees are perhaps the first thing I notice when I visit a new place. They are so very important for the health of our environment, and we are but one of many species that rely upon them for survival and quality of life.  I live surrounded by trees. I would undoubtedly  improve my view by cutting them all down, but I’d rather have the trees. Their tenacity and variety, and the incredible longevity of some species, along with their many uses – extending long past their lives – make them a truly remarkable entity for which I have great respect.
