#ThursdayTreeLove


I have long enjoyed viewing posts in the bi-monthly Thursday Tree Love blog hop hosted by Parul at Happiness and Food.  For almost as long, I've thought I should jump in with some shots of our wonderful assortment of trees here in Caneyhead.  Well, today I have finally made it!  





This is a view looking up through the boughs of our sweetgum tree into the blue Texas sky.  Over half of the leaves have fallen already for autumn.  A little over half of those left are golden brown in the late afternoon sun.  The rest cling to green, like our Southeast Texas days cling to highs in the 80's.

I have had a fondness for sweetgums since my childhood.  I liked the velvety softness of their star shaped leaves.  The rich, cool shade they give in summer.  The way their bark peels and curls up to reveal a surface smooth as stone.  Many happy days playing in the deep San Augustine grass under a towering sweetgum in the backyard of the old rent house on Cooks Road.

Please join in and enjoy the other trees featured in this weeks edition of #ThursdayTreeLove.

  3. It's so easy to take many of nature's gifts for granted, isn't it?

    1. Yep, it sure is. We hurry along, eyes on the road and then straight in the door when we get home because there is a meal to prepare, a show we want to watch, or we must freshen up and get ready to go out again. How many days go by before some walk all the way around their own house? What do we walk or drive by every day and never see?

  10. Awesome, I really appreciate trees - the lungs of our earth. You've captured this one perfectly glistening in the perfect glow of the sunlight. I wonder if its a horse-chestnut or a maple. They have latin names which I've half forgotten by now.

  20. Biorexin Reviews Are you certain you have to ride that ride? You'll improve your Best Male Enhancement Pills a lot. I am not completely right about Best Libido Booster. My idea is based around my assumption that nobody has an affection for connected with using that. That is how to quit worrying pertaining to Bed Boosters. With the right approach you can get plastic results with Male Enhancement Pills. Best Libido Booster is an opinion whose time has come. That is effortless and few of the people here as of now know that. If you won't understand that you're as blind as a bat.
