Getting this out took some deep inner soul work because in actual fact I love trees, I talk to them, admire their beauty, breathe in the oxygen they make and hug them. I am proud to say that I belong to the tree lover's group.
But as I walked along yesterday on a 'musing' Monday walk @dswigle, I saw more their tree magnificence, I saw how they worked to enhanced the look of the Resort enticing prospective holiday makers to come and stay.
Then it came to me, trees are much more than what I thought, they have important jobs. Check out this striking Pandanus.
Or how about this big strong paper bark tree that looks like a guard at the gate of this Resort across the road.
Will this photo meet the #monchromeMonday look @old-guy-photos? I thought I would combine this tag with the #treeTuesday tag. I might fall a tad short but to me all the photos seem to have a vivid warm filter.
Round the corner and down the road a tree with amazing spreading branches was working hard to provide a privacy barrier to the same Resort's tennis court. It was a very strategic choice by landscapers because walkers were not peering through the branches at the holiday makers having fun on the tennis court.
But, I did .........
I will always look at trees a little differently from now on, appreciating all they do for us humans and the environment.
A poem as lovely as a tree.
Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

The last look of the Christmas tree before all the decorations and the pretend tree is put away in boxes for the year!
