Tree Poetry

My travel across the island of Jamaica put me in touch with some of the most beautiful trees I have ever seen.  Some of these trees have seen more history than I can imagine. Their scars and growth patterns are breathtaking. Their determination to grow in spite of any weather challenge makes me think of the resilience of the people of Jamaica.  Maybe there is something in the soil.




This tree is called the 'dreadlock' tree because of the growth pattern of the roots.


The netting on this tree is magnificent.


I am married to that tree-hugger in the blue shirt (click on the photo for a better view).  
That tree is really amazing and makes me feel very safe.

  3. Doesn't plant diversity just amaze you? I love trees but this is the first time I am meeting the ones you made an acquaintance with.
