Write about Trees

"When the eye is not set on one leaf and you face the tree with nothing at all in mind, any number of leaves are visible to the eye." ~Takuan Soto

Winter whispers through branches.

Wind twirls, swirls down trunks.

Roots sleep into night.








Trees assist our breathing, create
structures that house us and 



furniture for our comfort. 



They
provide shade, homes for hummingbirds and bees.









Trees natural art bridges the
earth and sky. 













Trees filter and clean air from
pollution. 










The Forest Service put a



3.8 billion dollar value on the
pollution removed annually by urban trees.

























In Washington D.C., trees remove
nitrogen dioxide to an equivalent of




taking 274 cars off the beltway,
saving $51 million in annual 




pollution-related health-care costs.
