My new favorite is a Dogwood. <BR/>Steve and I made the agonizing decision to leave our CA friends and embark on a crazy adventure back east. I say adventure because even though we are both from the east coast, neither of us knew anything about where we were moving. We ended up plopping ourselves in CT. Anyway, to make a long story, somewhat short, we moved in the middle of Jan, 2 1/2 months after our 1st child was born. Not so smart. We bought our 1st home and after many uncertain months, the ice melted and spring started to wake. We look out one day to find we had the most incredible Dogwood tree in our backyard. We had no idea the amazing beauty hidden under all that snow!<BR/>While I miss LA, life in CT is wonderful. The Dogwood is a reminder sometimes taking a risk can bring about some unexpected and fantastic twist and turns in life.lisa dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499149424402832171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-6242460406607263702009-02-06T06:28:00.000-08:002009-02-06T06:28:00.000-08:00I love any tree that blooms flowery in the early s...I love any tree that blooms flowery in the early spring - it's like an awakening from the sleepy winter, and it's the first reminder of spring & summer beauty. Plus it gets us all excited for the spring & summer ahead, giving us ALL spring fever! So when I say I'm moving to Cali or Hawaii, people always remind me that even though I swear I won't miss the change in seasons we have here in NJ, they are correct that this in fact is one thing I would miss. It's that change in perspective and the appreciation for beauty after a long, cold, dreary winter. And I'm counting down the minutes until then...Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583084411313447932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-54488209743232202622009-02-05T18:23:00.000-08:002009-02-05T18:23:00.000-08:00Not stupid!

Western Larches are cool because they're super tall and one of the few pines that has needles that turn yellow and fall off in the autumn.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-55201014681759917232009-02-05T12:44:00.000-08:002009-02-05T12:44:00.000-08:00Ooooh! evelyn's answer reminded me of redwood tree...Ooooh! evelyn's answer reminded me of redwood trees!

There is the remains of an old once giant tree nearby in our woods. As the years go by it gets smaller as it slowly decays but it still tells anyone who takes the time to look just how magnificant it once was. (and what a hotel for so many little creatures!)evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025419897668337289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-20131958286727675802009-02-05T10:37:00.000-08:002009-02-05T10:37:00.000-08:00Actually this isn't boring at all.

I love weeping willows. My dad had one in the front yard for many years until it got sick. When they're not trimmed they're so cool. It's like a little secret world under there. I think jacaranda trees are beautiful. I can't rank them as favorite though because they're so messy. I like seeing them from the car the best. I think oak trees are awesome. They're so old and wise looking. Palm trees are amazing. How can you feel sad looking at a palm tree? They're summer, warm weather, vacation and good times. The street street to the south of me has trees that canopy the street. I don't know what kind they are but I always envy the people on that block. They have some awesome shade here in the godforsaken heat of the Valley. I didn't realize I had so much to say about trees.sudabakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548980335470490884noreply@blogger.com
