Description
I love pine forests! In my opinion, they are the most beautiful forests in the world. I love the soft needle carpet under my feet and the soft long green needles over head. It always seems quiet under an evergreen canopy.
Evergreen
Forever green
Soft and lovely
A magical scene
Under a stately Pine tree!
I was walking under huge swaying Pine trees on a cool damp Ohio Spring day. It was quiet as almost everyone was staying inside on this day. I've lost count, but maybe it's day 50 of quarantine? I was looking for hope. I was looking for joy. I was pining for simple things I took for granted just 50 days earlier. Taking care of grandchildren . . . running errands . . . watching soccer games . . . hanging out with friends and family. I was pining for everything that seemed lost. I just stood there and looked up and after just a few minutes of doing that I felt gratitude slowly filling me up.
My family and friends so far are safe. There are so many heroes working so hard to keep us safe and alive. . . so many people who are figuring out how to find a cure, how to find treatments . . . so many people going to work even though they know there is risk. . . I realized that important things were not lost. The Earth is still growing and blooming with promises of new dawns and new days. I have learned how to do new things! Sew masks . . . Zoom. I have been in touch with friends I had been taking for granted; high school buds, college friends, distant relatives . . . . We are not all in the same boat, but we are all in the same storm and so many good people have found this truth and are reaching out to help each other. How can I be sad? That is pretty amazing! My job is to just keep on going . . . keep moving . . . try to be kind and helpful whenever possible. So thank you to those beautiful Pine trees, who have stood tall for so many years and are very wise indeed!
Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
