This tree is one of my favourites. It stands tall and proud in a local park and I often rest or eat lunch under it :)
I'm not one for poems, not my thing..but this one I always liked.
No Time To Stand And Stare
What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.
William Henry Davies

Thanks guys :)
I wanted to get more height from the tree but it goes up forever lol
I think the font I used for that one is called Folkard.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. (Henry David Thoreau)
This is a very moving upload and I think that the poem has as much to do with it as that lovely tree.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Gorgeous photo and a beautiful poem! You're making me stop and think. Thanks Bonnie for sharing both! :)

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
The poem is lovely and so is the tree. I can almost see you eating lunch under its boughs!

All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
Now you've taught me something because I always thought that was Rudyard Kipling. It's a great poem and expresses a sentiment that I hold very strongly. Love your image here Bonnie and it goes perfectly with the words.

"Whatever you're interested in, go for it. You can only find your voice if you're not intimidated by doing stuff that's been done before." Alec Soth
a lovely image Bonnie! I like the poem that you added - one I have heard often! It goes so well with your tree which you have framed so beautifully!

Beautifully done, Bonnie. I love the poem, the image and the inspiration.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Beautiful photo, I love the work you have done with it. The poem is an added plus! Thanks much for sharing both. :o)
