Trees

A week or so ago I was at an elementary school to work on first grade spelling; I am a mentor for kids who are in custody of the state.  It's a great job, and I love my kids.  I happened to have my camera on me, and showed up a few minutes early, so I took a "garden tour" of the grounds.  This was my favorite tree.  I love trees.  I think trees are inspiring, and the word itself is awesome.  This tree I think was a crab apple.  He looked created for a grade school, I mean look at those branches.  Climbing is optimal.  Kids were born to climb trees.  It has a red ribbon around the trunk because it is "Red Ribbon Week."  I don't know if you all have that where you are from, but here it is an anti-drug week!  (GO RED RIBBON WEEK!!!)  As you can tell, I am for it.  

  Trees can be one of the most inspiring of natures gifts.  My ideal is to move into a house that has been well established, and has great trees, or to build on property that has mature trees.  I have decided I lean towards the deciduous.   I like change, and progress, color, movement,  and chasing autumn leaves in the wind.  If I were a tree I know it would be deciduous.  I'll have to narrow it down one of these days.  What kind of tree are you?
