Trees :)

Well, so much for posting more during Lent. . . Iv'e been struggling with a lot of things in my life lately. I don't really want to go into details, and I certainly don't want to worry anyone, but if you would just say a couple little prayers for me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Now, if only I could remember what I was going to post about! I thought I had something really good, but now I can't remember it. So, I guess I will write about something else LOL

Well, I kinda need a little break from the world right now, so I'm just gonna start on something kinda random. How about, my favorite trees :D

Have you ever heard of those giant redwood trees? They are officially one of my favorite trees. Those things are huge! I saw a picture of some people climbing one (they needed climbing gear, like you would use for rock climbing!)  and they looked like Squirrels compared to that tree! I'm not sure that it would be a good idea to climb one, (I don't have any climbing gear, and that would be quite a height) but they are just so cool.
here's some more info about them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoia_sempervirens

I also like bonsai trees. . . . . LOL the biggest trees and the smallest trees :) I know they aren't really a specific "species", because they can be a variety of different species, but they are really really cool. They are so tiny! I have wanted a Bonsai tree for, I don't know how long! It would be so cool. They are so tiny, and they just make me think of little tiny people in little tiny villages. (Ok, I admit it, I am a bit obsessed/fascinated with little tiny things :)  )

Another one of my favorites are Maples trees. They are probably one of the most common trees in my area. They Smell So Good! Something about Maple trees is just very calming to me. There is one in my backyard that I climb sometimes. I've done all sorts of things up there, Drawing, Bird watching, reading and just thinking about things. This may be strange to you, but I have to say, that tree is one of my favorite places.

And another of my favorites are Oak trees. Like Maples, they smell really good, and are also another common tree in my area. There is something about Oak trees that make them look so wise. I know, Trees can't really be "wise", after all, they don't really think or talk or anything, but if oak trees were people, they would look like very wise people. I have one of them in my backyard also, and I also like to hang out in that one. One time I was sitting up there, and a squirrel started coming down the tree. He rounded the trunk only to see me sitting there, And he just stopped. He was about three or four feet above me in the tree, and he just kept peeking at me like he was flabbergasted. He looked like he was thinking "Humans in trees? How can that be? No. No I am not seeing a human in this tree. No, I am! There is a human in this tree!" LOL after a little while, probably just a few seconds or a minute, he scampered back up the tree. It was quite funny.


Well anyway, as you can see, I am pretty fascinated with trees. I could go on and on about all the trees I like, but then the post would be so long that no-one would ever make it to the end! LOL
