Well it is May and everything is bursting into bud.
I am dedicating this post to trees.
My Haiku for May
"Trees bursting with blooms
as May arrives on gentle feet
birds singing fresh songs"
Here are a few west coast trees from my photo archives:
Gulf Island Arbutus
"Walk tall as the trees, live strong as the mountains, be gentle as the spring winds, keep the warmth of the summer sun in your heart and the great spirit will always be with you."-Native American proverb
Jericho beach trees
"Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come."-Chinese proverb
Tree at the North end of the West Coast Trail
Trees near Ucluelet
"Do not be afraid to go out on a limb… That’s where the fruit is."-Anonymous
"Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky."-Kahlil Gibran--------------------------------------------------
