Trees

Trees and nature have always inspired in me a sense of love and peace. Their leafy domes offer a place of respite and relaxation in a hectic world of city life.

They offer home to countless animals and birds, providing the air we breath and a substantial amount of the food we eat.

In summer days they are gently respiring giants, adding a breathing green pulse to the city. At night they become silent sentinels, passively observing the secrets of a nocturnal city.

As the year turns to autumn their shifting colours usher in the changing year and shed their leaves in autumnal swirls that leave the streets crunchy underfoot.

And in winter their bony fingers reach to the skies under baleful moons, like witches summoning a multitude of stars into the heavens. 

If there is any one thing on Earth that we should protect our trees and our forests should be a treasure we should seek to protect, safeguard and propagate for ourselves and our loved ones, now and for the future.
