Trees have a very special place in our hearts. These pictures show how special the are.

The painter Paul Nash 1889–1946 said

"I have tried to paint trees as though they were human beings, with their sensuous but mysterious personalities... because I sincerely love and worship trees and know they are people; wonderfully beautiful people"

Thank you Akira-san

Paul Nash was right.

I think he was profoundly affected by his experience in the battlefields of Flanders. He painted those trees injured whilst as a war artist, Trees wounded beyond recognition by the conflict.

Thank you. I too have a deep respect for plants and always aim my lens at them.

I am often mesmerized by the natural designs found in tree bark. And on trails I have walked for years I have watched trees die, and new ones grow, certain groupings were like families. The last shot of the water drop on broad leaf is amazing BTW.

Thank you. They always give us new inspiration.

These are all beautiful but there's something about that last photo that is really mesmerizing and visually gratifying in a way my words can't express. It gives my brain the most pleasant tingles 😄✨️

It's true, the combination of green leaves and water droplets really does have the power to make us feel refreshed.
