.. poem lovely as a tree
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
These are the opening lines of famous poem Trees by Joyce Kilmer. Looks like my camera has a taken a leaf out of Kilmer's book; it loves trees these days.
This one has been my fav picture for past few months; I like the silhouette effect.
I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
- Ogden Nash
I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.
- Willa Cather
Actually I was trying to capture flowers this spring. But some bare trees got my attention; they were not conforming to the season at all.. they looked so good though.
Kilmer's right, only God can make trees.
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' -- probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
-Woody Allen
