Desert Series, Part One (I really do love the trees)

::Arches Canyon Trip 11/10::

Trees are your best antiques.  ~Alexander Smith

  

Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved.  You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?  

~Alice Walker

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower 

~Albert Camus

 
 

Bread and butter, devoid of charm in the drawing-room, is ambrosia eating under a tree.  ~Elizabeth Russell

  

Alone with myself
The trees bend to caress me
The shade hugs my heart.
~Candy Polgar

 

If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.  

~Hal Borland

 The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber.  The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.  

~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
