A Touch of Trees on Tuesday

avatar
(Edited)


Oh, how I love thee, Mother Earth! I adore the beauty of our world, the uniqueness of nature, the sacred scents of the earth. It is with such pleasure that I put out some trees, some flowers, and very soon I promise, the buzzing of bees. It is such a pleasure to join in #TreeTuesday with @old-guy-photos. Show me your trees!

Oh, there is beauty held by a ray of sunshine in the sky and laughter filling the air. Flowers stand in the fields, coloring the landscape in a bright hue of happy. How can one refute the fact that this very moment in your life becomes part of your very own story? No right. No wrong. It is up to you on how you want to write it.

I choose to focus on the good, however small it might seem. I will take every ounce of goodness there is, sending it straight to my heart. Be who you are and walk your walk.

The clouds make the best backdrop to my day, dotting the sky, or waving their palms in the breeze, saying goodnight. How can we dispute our love for the tree, wherever it's planted, wherever it be? The beauty of the day disappeared into the sunset, ever so quietly. Hail the loveliness of trees!

"And when we find ourselves
In the place just right,
We will be in the valley
Of Love and Delight"

-Shaker Hymn

You knew it was coming! Today is Tuesday, so it is #TreeTuesday. Show me your trees!


It's more than just a beautiful flowering tree. It is truly a beautiful event, the blooming of nature, a sight to behold, a performance not to be missed.

Their beauty whispers, in my world, even as they fade, wither and as a final point, fall back to the earth. Of course, my Spring has come and gone, but the beauty of it is still fresh in my memory. Many roads lead to that place, the one that captures my soul.

A flower. Always. This flower is dedicated to #TuesdayOrange -ish #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra, who colors my world, every single day.


Looking up. Let me gaze upwards, to the sky and beyond, for steem can only get better, I hope... a little at a time



I want to thank you for coming along as I perused the likes of #TreeTuesday, eclectic and true, brought by me to you. And just that quick, this show is over. Tag me and I will visit your trees too! Thank you!

Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

warsan shire

Stunning photos, especially the stand of palms. I love the way the silhouettes of the palm trees seem to be bending into the sunset.

Oh thank you so much I think that that happens to be one of my favorite also, but mostly because it reminds me of the wonderful time I had and how cooperative the sunsets were. I appreciate you coming over and taking the time to say hello and as always I wish you a most wonderful day!

Ahh, a breath of fresh air. Love the palm trees with that beautiful sky behind them! It's been over a year since I've been to the beach, but boy am I squirming to get a chance to go back!

Girl! A year since you've been to the beach? You better get in that car and head east! I am off to the beach just for a couple of days this weekend. Although now that I look at the weather, I'll probably be sorry. 100 degrees at the beach is not exactly found what I was looking for. How can you spell I'll be like shake and bake out there!

Thank you for stopping by and saying hello and leaving those always wonderful words behind.

Haha, oh yeah, I don't do the beach in the height of summer. At least not anywhere down here! But my girlfriends are toying with a quick weekend trip in the fall, so fingers crossed we finally make it happen!

Yep you get it! Trees are so awesome. They give so much! Beauty, oxygen, happiness! Of course you masterfully capture their essence so well!

Ah yes Spring! I love all the seasons, but there is just something special about Spring that is so rejuvenating. Yes may we all hide a bit of it away in our hearts!

Thank you! You always leave the very nicest comments, every single day. I do love all the seasons but there is something special about spring, letting me redo the entire year all over again. I do, it's true! I keep a little bit in my pocket for later in the winter, when my sunshine has run away from home.

Have yourself an amazing day!

Thank you so much Leyla! If we did not focus on the good, the not-so-good would overpower at times which is unacceptable to me. We do live in a Wonderful World! I want to thank you for stopping by and saying hello and leaving those wonderful words behind!

Trees really do play such an important part of our life and I always wonder if they are getting the proper appreciation! I do love tree Tuesday and I love trying to get different varieties when I'm out and about. That Sunset was Exquisite and I will tell you that Florida happens have some of the prettiest sunsets around. Of course I say that about the desert also. Thanks so much for always leaving your kind words and for being such an awesome presence on #SteemUSA!

Wow! Talk about speechless! That's the way your words leave! The sun sets in Florida, where I was at the time are always so beautiful and leave me speechless. I am glad that you can see my grateful heart because it is indeed and not that I need confirmation but it's nice to see that it shows outward.

I wish you a most wonderful day!
