WINTER TREES

[Mantis]

I love birds, especially the small ones - the two a penny sparrows that come in small flocks to my bird feeders; bluetits and great tits and long-tailed tits and nuthatches. And there is a squirrel that has tried to come in my front door on a number of occasions. Trees, flowers, birds animals. All God's beautiful creatures.

Yeah I don’t know their names but I love them as well. We have little ones that look like golf balls and some tropical looking ones as well. Then we have the big boys, wild turkeys. They are pretty impressive in the spring. Gobbling and fanning out their tails. Their heads change colors when they are strutting. From red to white to blue. That’s probably where we got our flag colors lol.

I do have a pix of my mom, when she was a kid, standing in front of a California Redwood...and our own 3 kids sitting in front of a huge, huge tree trunk in the East on an old historical plantation. Very majestic!

@Taken Memorable....

Oh the redwoods are awesome! Everyone should see them in their lifetime.

@Mantis Some of the California redwoods are really huge and really old; I've seen pictures of ppl driving cars through holes sawn in the trunk....

Yeah that one actually fell over last year I think. Its too bad that was awesome. I guess there is a HUGE redwood tree that people are trying to keep secret so it survives the masses. nIt is in a spot that most tourists don't go to. I would like to see that tree.

@Mantis A pity really that they damaged it for the sake of photo opportunities; I reckon the trunk was weakened...

They are magnificent, but the op isn't particularly about trees but something very specific God showed me whilst looking at winter trees. I like to call these sorts of inspiring thoughts 'Life Lessons'.
