Symmetry Saturday Skies

 Taken from the car with my new iPhone 13
Last week we finally kicked our 40 year old landline to the curb
This is one of my very first photos taken with my new phone.
I am quite pleased.

January

Cold mornings followed by blue clear skies
or is it clear blue skies?

Pleasant afternoon walks to my delight.
Trees standing tall, branches bare
Leaves covered yards now
blown to the curb.
Stretching for blocks some neatly piled high
Lining the streets on both sides
As cars pass, they blow everywhere


Soon the city will have their leaf sucking monsters 
slowly driving down all the streets

Good bye to the leaves and all the trees

Happy Tuesday

Thank you to our 

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus    

Last week everything about this photo made me Happy

Taken on the back loop of Wooten Meadow Park, there is an unpaved trial behind the trees.  Maybe when it isn't so wet I can explore more.

I expect many of you read the poem, Trees, by Joyce Kilmer in school.

If not, here it is

Many years ago, (probably mid 1990's) we hiked in Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest which is located in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.  My mind's eye remembers sun filtering thru the very tall trees and the aroma of evergreens covered in morning dew. 
(Golly that was almost poetic, lol)

"This forest is one of the Nation’s most impressive remnants of old-growth forest. The forest contains magnificent examples of more than 100 tree species, many over 400-years-old, and some more than 20 feet in circumference and 100 feet tall. This 3,800-acre forest was set aside in 1936 as a memorial to the author of the poem “Trees,” Joyce Kilmer, who was killed in action in France during World War I. This forest, part of the Joyce Kilmer-Slick Rock Wilderness, is maintained in its primitive state. The only way to see this forest is on foot. A 2-mile trail leads to the Joyce Kilmer Memorial and loops through giant trees. A restroom and picnic tables are located at the trailhead."
