"Only GOD can make a tree..."

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 31 August 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Genesis 1:11
Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

“I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree”. -Joyce Kilmer

What a lovely archway Judy. Is Gustav affecting you at all?? I've been watching the path it is taking on CNN and it certainly appears as though you are at least getting some of the fall out. xx

@Marion: Thanks, Marion ... and I like it painted better than plain. ;D
We're getting some wind from the other bands, but that's all so far. xx

@MJ: Thanks, MJ. ... What kept us together for so long? As Ruth Graham said, "Divorce was never in our vocabulary; murder maybe, but never divorce." ;D

I love this Judy...and only God should take it down! (or nature) I hate it when trees are cut for no reason :) take care of yourself

@Lorraine: I agree and when I see the needless clear-cutting that's done, I want to cry!

i've always love the way trees make a 'passageway' and you walk through,enjoying the shade,the beautiful greenery and birds singing in the trees.I can so imagine myself walking through this canopy and enjoying God's wonderful creation.What a wonderful image!:)

@tyan: You've painted an idyllic scene, Ty, with your words. I hope 'my tree canopy' gave you a little peace.
