Wow, I knew I loved TREES (as mentioned in my blog here on Oct. 12th of 2019)...I just didn't know how MUCH I loved them!! I did this DRAWING of a tree 6 years ago and I often include PARTS of trees with my BIRD drawings. Yet I almost never, like most bird artists, include FLOWERS for example. The birds are always perched in TREES.
Here's MORE evidence....
I took each of those photos over several years' time.
This is all "circumstantial" evidence, granted, but here's IRREFUTABLE evidence that I love trees VERY much...
Recently, I found a letter I wrote to a Bloomfield NJ paper 8 years ago when my first wife (now in Heaven) and I lived up in NORTH Jersey. A local Democrat politician up there WANTED TO CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES IN TOWN THAT WERE OVER 15 FEET TALL!! This was after Hurricane Sandy. I protested loudly. Here's my letter....
Then, of course, there's my letter from earlier THIS year, well after I moved to CENTRAL Jersey and remarried....yet I was consistent, I still spoke up to our local paper on behalf of TREES and the needless destruction of them. There's even a POEM I wrote about them, at the end of this letter!!
Yes, I'm beginning to think that the one and ONLY poem my stoic, insensitive Ironworker dad seemed to know and recite when I was a kid influenced ME about Trees!!
So I'm finally facing facts. I'm not a tree-HUGGER, but I am a tree-LOVER.
One more pic that I took a few years back....
By the way, the Walgreens mentioned in that second letter did NOT close down...could it be that my letter made people RALLY, support the store so they WOULDN'T split?? Hmmm....
