 Pines are most impressive not framing day Their strong slenderness is best accentuated by the night... Illuminated by the moon. You will find them in the darkness most profitable.. Though fanned by tipsy breezes ~ Furled by gales... Have no notion they will break For goodness sake Remember.. They are pines born to stand. In a way.. they barricade the day, and that is good But, ever bear in mind their kind. Stalwart sentinels.. It is right that they should be protectors of the night. |

Oh, Nancy Lee, this is exquisite! I have to agree with you. We had pines lining our long driveway when I was growing up. They have grown up, too....and, oh, how beautiful they are in the moonlight! I really miss them. .....jo |

Tinker this speaks to me. There is nothing like the fresh scent of the pines. Let's find a pine forest to walk in... believe in what your heart feels... |

Beautiful picture and writing. On the shores of Monterey Bay, the Monterey Pine tries to withstand the winds. As you can see from some of the pix in this site, they don't make it, but the result is also awesome. Pines are a great tree, as are your writings.
