1 This tree and bank of daffodils is at the entrance to our Doctor’s surgery. No matter how bad people feel, these raise a smile on every face.
Bank of Daffodils
2 Today is the International Day of Forests. The theme of the International Forest Day 2014 is Celebrating Forests for Sustainable Development. To celebrate the theme, the UN held a Panel discussion on Women as Agents of Change for Forests and Sustainable Development with inspiring speakers from forest heroes to film makers. Here are some beautiful photos of trees that I have taken over the years. Click on any photo for the detail.
3 Sadly, we are losing many of our forests around the world. This poignant and beautiful poem, which I have long loved, is by Jules Supervielle, a Uraguayan poet, and seems right to mark both International Day of Forests and World Poetry Day
In the hourless forest
In the hourless forest
a tall tree is being felled.
A vertical void
trembles in the form of a shaft
near the outstretched trunk.Search, birds, search,
for the site of your nests
in this high memory
while it is still murmuring.by Jules Supervielle
