Beautiful old Madrone tree

It was in the mid sixties here yesterday, a gorgeous day for a drive. We saw this wonderful old Madrone tree on our way to Williams (southern Oregon). IMG_1903

TREES

by: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
