A casual look at the trees would hide our attention of some sights that tell us about the way trees adapt to different situations in their forest life. The owlets found their hiding place in one tree. I noticed them on three occasions around the same time of the day on the same tree!
The last photo of the wooden bridge protected from either side, by restrainers fascinated me. Only pedestrians and cyclists can go over the bridge. This a bridge, leading to a wooded area in the suburb of a town. This to me was a message that one ought to slow down to walk through the wood and feel the majesty and mystery of trees, which often are older than most who come to visit and walk under their canopy.
Trees are companions to humans.
Take time to look at trees and listen to their story as they narrate them through the way they sway in the wind and make tunes with their leaves and branches. They are silent to those who pass by them in haste and are gentle narrators of their lifetime stories to those who walk feeling their presence!
Their garden experience of shared living can be inspirational!
When we came to live in our cottage we had one papaya tree giving us fruits regularly. Now ten years later, we have thirteen of them in our property , none planted by us, but growing up from bird droppings. So we have fruits for ourselves and enough for the birds and squirrels! That is the story of one tree multiplying into twelve others.
Trees call us to listen to their stories!
That is how we will feel invited to travel back to the garden of Eden, where the story of creation began, trees, animals and humans!
