Posted by Picasa I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth's 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."

- Joyce Kilmer, 1886-1918, Trees

Oh my, what beautiful colored trees ! Looks almost as if somebody had painted them !

Yesterday we had a visit from my son's friend, wife and two month old little daughter. Wasn't she cute ! I carried her around all the time because she loved to look at my colorful paintings !
