On one or two different days, I decided to take some pictures of the beautiful trees and sky in our greater Springfield city area. We live just north of the city in a suburb, and often go into the city (about three minutes south of us). What enjoyment I received! What a great, creative Artist is our God . . . no human can match His work!
Our city is proud to be designated as a "Tree City." Here is a website that explains all about it. TREE CITY
When I see the trees ... so beautiful ... I think of: 1. a Bible verse from Isaiah 55:12 (the whole chapter is wonderful!) ~ "You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!" - and 2. a poem by Joyce Kilmer
Trees
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
