Have You Got Your Trees Today?

 Choosing the right appropriate tree for the front and backyard is not that so easy. We want a good tree that can stand the test of time. A kind of tree that can stand harsh weather, that can give us shade, shelter and protection. A tree that gives so much fruit, or bears fruit and bloom with flowers all year round. A tree that is almost impossible to find.

I like birch trees for its white spotted bark. The bark that you can make so much of art crafts. You can make paper from it, a natural room divider, make baskets, just an ornamental trees outside the yard makes it pleasing for everyone to see. Great symbol or image for the art of photography. Don't you think so? A background of birch tree image on your room's wall is just perfect. However we want real ones. Trees that are real not fantasy or fakey. We want trees that moves with the wind, with the air, leaves that wither and rejuvenates when touched by shower of blessings.



 Shrubs of ornamental flowers at the garden, different shades of trees at the background is just truly amazing. Group of gnomes or picturesque statues or ceramic figurines add life, zest of life if you want to add a drum bridge on your Japanese garden. Others prefer fountain and or any soothing regiment of cascading water falls is always an attraction.

 What this unusual tree doing here? first thought it was a Joshua's tree however, turned out it was a monkey tree. Funny as it may seem but who cares about the name, this kind of tree is unique.

 Spruce, aspen,cedar, and hemlock? nobody cares at all. With the magnificent view of sunset at the background everything looks spectacular. Japanese maple trees and cherry blossom trees are optional.

 Maple tree? Sugar or golden maple tree? Then it could be an oak! Whatever!

 Oh look at this along the highway...lots of trees to choose from. From dogwood trees, douglas fir tree, pine, hemlock, cypress, and what you call it elm? No way, we're not going to Elm Street. For sequoia moment? Go to California and you'd probably feel like a midget dwarfing on its old century robust giant trees and God knows how tall they were almost touching the sky.

Oh what a splendour refreshing tree of life. Coconut palm trees, the grove and groove of these trees as they sway to the rhythm of the breezy wind makes me feel sleepy. Include the hammock tied on both ends of the tree and presto I could go sleep and dream dreams. Yeah only in my dreams. Only on holidays, on a beachy happy life of contentment.
