    I just stepped out on the front porch to the sound of the breeze. The trees now have all their grown up leaves. Thick and happy with the promise of a new year. The wind is moving them with that beautiful hushed sound. If it weren't for the trees we often wouldn't hear a breeze. It occurs to me the breeze and leaves are best friends ;)

    I have noticed the silence that exists in new construction neighborhoods where they have cut down all the trees.

    I love the idea of the breeze and leaves needing each other. Well said. I also like how the leaves turn over into a different color when a storm is on it's way...

    Beautiful sentiments ladies and very true. Did you know that one of the reasons sailors used to wear hooped earrings was so that they could hear the breeze :ugeek: Try it sometime :D

    Fifthelement, that's interesting! I'll have to wear hoop ear-rings to the beach just to see what it sounds like now. ;)

    And, Pandora, that's one of the most delicate sounds isn't it? A breeze through the leaves?

    I only put up pictures that I've taken myself. I started this thread a few years ago when I decided to start a project of taking a tree picture everyday.

    It's a three kilometre (round-rip) path made by the locals on Meares Island, Tofino, B.C. :D

    These are not my pics but I am celebrating the beauty I enjoyed in KC! The beautiful paper birch trees that filled our hotel windows, the comical blue jays, the lilac in bloom and Mr Bunny, my balcony bagel eatin buddy!
