The trees are lovely today and everyday since they were born to line up the roadsides. They’ve been very good, trying to stay still so that an insignificant little human like me can stop by to take some snaps of their magnificence. I don’t mind their branches swaying to the wind a little because then, their glorious beauty would resonate with their surroundings even more. I’m in awe as I stood in the middle of the road admiring the perspective that the trees provided. Without them, it would have been a rather bland scenery indeed.  They are in the midst of flowering.  I tell them that they are gorgeous in bloom and thank them for being such a wonderful sight for sore eyes…and of course, for letting me take pictures of them.

Poem for the day – The Gladness of Nature

The Gladness of Nature
by William Cullen Bryant

Is this a time to be cloudy and sad,
When our mother Nature laughs around;
When even the deep blue heavens look glad,
And gladness breathes from the blossoming ground?
