Trees

Tall proud trees reaching up in single-minded pursuit of the light, attaining heights few if any other trees can match and soaking up the precious sunlight. What these giants must survey from their lofty perch can only be imagined and must be another world from the one we humans see at ground level.

A stately tree with branches outspread, imposing in its gold autumnal colours, sedate and tranquil in its solid stance, a reassuring presence. It's the type you might like to seek solace or shelter under, whether it be from emotional turmoil or simply bad weather!

Lofty sentinels standing proud in the tropics as the dawn breaks and the sun's rays spill over the horizon, lighting up the early morning sky. What exotic adventures of exploration might these lanky giants recount if they could only speak?

Trees of all shapes, sizes and shades, in every corner of the world, in such variety as to engross and captivate the curious and the appreciative of Nature's creation. It is hard to think of any other living organism that shapes and influences our environment as much as trees.

Trees in their multicoloured autumnal apparel, a kaleidescope of hues and shades.
