Sunday Trees & Giraffes

We visited the Kansas City Missouri Zoo last summer. It was wonderful to see all the animals in their habitats.

I love giraffes, and there were a lot of them wandering among the tall trees, and also nibbling on the bark.

There was a little gift shop there too, called the Tree Tops, with a giraffe motif.

Sunday Trees – The Drive By Shots

These are some trees I saw while we were driving around today. Not too bad for taking the photo as we were moving on down the road.

  • Two large trees in a roadside park. In between is a fountain spraying into the little lake.
  • A medium sized tree in a business landscaping area. In the foreground is some yellow/dried bear grass.
  • Another medium sized tree by the road.
  • A couple of trees by the lake by our house (you can see a bit of the blue water)

We have some beautiful sunsets here. These dark tree branches were silhouetted against the fiery orange and delicate pink sunsets.

Sunday Trees – Yard Sale Trees

Sunday Trees – Yard Sale Trees

https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2019/06/02/sunday-trees-394/

***

We were out going to yard sales on Friday, and here are some trees I saw.

The first was kind of unique…tall fake palm trees. They were made onto a tall pole, and covered with a felt like material for the tree trunk and the palm leaves of green and tan. I think the lady sold them while we were there, as I heard her say she’d put a sold sign on them.

The other tree was in the yard of one of the houses. It’s a pretty green with thin leaves, and little pink flowers all around. It was in their front yard by the brick archway.

Sunday Trees – Love Chime

Sunday Trees – Love Chime

https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2019/05/26/sunday-trees-393/

***

For today’s Sunday Trees challenge, I have photos of our one tree in the front yard. I think it is a fruitless Mulberry, and has been here for many years.

I have a couple of wind chimes hanging from the branches, and this little black & white kitty was looking at them, as he stood on the wooden bench beneath the tree.

The one chime is made of silver colored pipes and makes a nice sound. The other one – two views – is all rusted. It has the word Love spelled out, and there are several cow bells hanging from it. This chime has been there so long, the tree has grown around the ring on the chime.

Then, here’s a poem I wrote way back in 2015 about trees.

Little kitty, wind chimes, our tree!

TREES

Trees in winter

They stand and stare

Do they think that it’s not fair?

Patient they stand

Stark and bare

Enduring winter’s brutal air

Do trees dream of winter’s end,

Yearning for springtime to begin?

A fresh, new start

Green leaves so frilly

A time to rejoice, a time to be silly

Rustling with the nesting of birds,

Pretty music they make, without any words.

A sanctuary for many species

The need for trees only increases

Giving hope, shelter, and shade,

A tree’s true purpose will never fade.

I think a tree must know it’s worth…

The reason it is put on this Earth.

Sunday Trees – Contrast

https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2019/05/19/sunday-trees-392/

***

For today’s Sunday Trees I have two contrasting photos.

The first one is an elaborately decorated live tree. It was for the Christmas season in Columbia Missouri. It has all the colors of the rainbow along all the many branches, and lit up against the dark night sky, it was beautiful

The next photo you could say is absent of any color. It is our neighbor’s tree with all the branches covered in thick white ice, and is also beautiful.

Branches – Sunday Trees

Here’s a bunch of tree branches from trees we saw in a park here one day a couple of years ago.

I love to see how branches and tree bark are all so different and interesting.

Can you spot the squirrel in the second photo? 🙂
