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
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
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
https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2019/05/12/sunday-trees-391/

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? 🙂
