My favorite is the weeping willow. It always reminded me of a lady w/ long hair; and made such good shade. While looking for this picture I read that they can grow 6-8 feet a year!  |

Penny, the Willow pic is lovely and peaceful looking, I know what you mean by long hair too. Wf I like twisted Hazel, it's funny how it grows like that though. I love all trees, and I like to feel their energy too, while walking in the forest. You can also feel the energy, if you place your hand a few inches away from the bark, you get a slight static feeling. I liked these, they looked mystical to me.   I love to spot what I see as mystical and beautiful old trees, with soul. |

I love twisted hazels best. I do also like to see very old Horse Chestnut trees, with outstretched boughs too. The very old tree's are beautiful, and shaped nice too, if they have not been cut at all.
I will have to see if I can get some pics of the older ones, I like, to show you.

I have always loved trees. I remember walking home one evening , as it was getting dark, and thought the silhouettes of the trees, looked stunning, against the deep blue sky. I do think trees, make very good focal points, when grouped together, and have been used like this in gardens, and parkland. These are a few I thought looked stunning, just as they were. I like to see trees, in natural settings too. Even coppiced ones look nice, when they start to grow and form many new branches. I thought the stark whiteness of these trees looked against the backdrop of green trees behind them.  Forest trees, giving a mystical look, as some areas were densely planted.  More lovely old trees, to look at, as we walk between them, along the path in the forest.  And the beautiful colours that appear on this rather odd shaped looking one.  Beautiful shapes towering up from the smaller trees, to reach the sky. [/center] |

It amazes me , how this tree split in to two, yet carried on growing.  Looking out through the middle of the tree.  |

My husband is a little over 6 feet tall, so you can see how large this opening is in the tree.

I know this isn't a poetry thread but I thought it fit here.

Have you heard it sung, penny?
I like the Mario Lanza version better.

Penny, that tree is beautiful, what type is it, do you know? It is certainly very tall though.
I love the poems too, and I had never seen that one before, or heard it sung either, I do like the Mario Lanza version better.
Penny, it is very fitting to put it here too,  .

Yes, I do like that poem too! , penny!
I left up the Paul Robeson version, because it has lovely pics of trees. No comparison between the two versions though. IMO.

 Don't ask me what sort of tree it is, wouldn't have a clue!  But I snapped this ivy-clad tree the other day on my mobile just because I was struck by the vivid, almost luminescent, scarlet of the foliage. |
