If trees could talk I wonder what they would tell us? They stand there like silent witnesses watching the world go by as the years to flow over them like water over rocks in a stream. They shield us from rain, shade us from sun, tower over us like our parents once did. They see so much but reveal nothing, keeping their silence like a Dr patient privilege. If trees could talk what would they say?
I took the above picture just a few minutes ago. It’s been added to a collection of pictures I’ve taken out of the window since 2002. I don’t really know what I am going to do with those pictures. My plan was to take one a day for a a whole year so as to catch the seasons change. But I’m often gone for weeks on end, so instead I have just taken pictures on various occasions building a collection that spans the seasons of the past 3 years or so.
My windows don’t really look upon anything amazing. This is the most interesting in my place. In the winter you can see the thatched cottage next door, and in the summer you can’t see much of anything but the large green leaves. But you know what, that’s okay by me.

I think that’s a beautiful view no matter the season!

I have a window that is like your window (meaning, it is a window from which I look). I gaze out of it everyday that I am in my office as I have my first cup of coffee, and it means something to me to look out and always see the trees. If my trees could talk I’m sure they would say, “Seriously Patti, back to work!”

Today’s shot speaks to me of peace. I think trees whisper to us as the wind passes through their leaves, telling us to slow down, listen, breathe.

Once again I love seeing the world through your lens!!! Such unique perspectives!! I enjoy seeing the change of seasons in the trees. My favorite though is the Aspens of Colorado!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Rush has a song called “The Trees.” It’s more political rather than philosophical though politics and philosophy do mix. Nevertheless it too offers a unique perspective!!!
