Listen!
Beneath the setting sun
by the water’s edge,
trees are telling stories
in the fading light. 
Creaking and cracking
bending in the wind,
talking to each other
in windswept sighs—
their wordless language
still unknown to man. ~ms

That’s why we hug trees in England! Lovely verse

Thanks Bob!
One of the best things to do, especially in the winter cold, is to hug a tree.
Trees are always happy to share their warmth.

Thank you for the compliment! When I was walking down the beach, I saw these trees leaning over—gossiping about something..

Love this! Now scientists have found that trees actually really do communicate with each other to help each other in reproducing. I forget but I think it is through the roots. But then we knew all along that trees talked to one another.😊

I believe every single tree has a story behind; it tells its story through the shape of its branches, the colors of its leaves and the way it grows up to give us a remarkable shoot. You can never find two identical trees. Trees are inspiring somehow; they could grow without water and endure thirst from year to year, till the rain comes over to give hope and joy to the abandoned trees.

I have always felt that way too.
Trees stand there for years and years watching as life passes by all around them.
Having seen so much, their wisdom runs deep!

Those trees are definitely windswept, but hanging in there. Thanks for sharing your photos and words with me Mary!
