a bench 'round -de-savannah'
under Poui trees
❧✿❧
the Pomerac tree -
fallen pink inflorescence
a natural carpet
childhood home garden
a memory of many trees -
a long time ago
fruit trees strong and tall
in the yard where i grew up -
the long rod picker
with salt and pepper
fruit from the Mango Vere tree
eaten green in chow
❧✿❧
the city outskirts -
The Emperor Valley zoo
with bordering trees
under a Bay tree -
Royal Botanic Gardens
note our first kiss
at home paradise -
Guava and Avocado
trees gift us their fruit
my love deserts me -
Plum and Mango trees planted
just sweeten longing
Stations of The Cross
Good Friday in The Hollows -
pink Poui blooming
Easter's a-coming
traffic curbs flowering trees -
the savannah arc
all the trees wear green
circling The Savannah -
after blossoms fall

Reading through a few of the posts today clearly many of us had a great time growing up having adventures in the tres and woods. It is sad to think so many youngsters these days are just glued to electronic devices...but not us though!

This is a nice assortment of trees today. I like like you choice too, with the overriding 'swirl' it looks like the starting of a toilet paper wrap. Most times the kids do it to each other's houses. Did you ever do that?

No Jim, i wasn't that naughty. Thanks for dropping by

The poui tree blooms in the picture is beautiful. You speak lovingly in your poems
This is a new tree for me. So many childhood memories are wrapped around a tree.

What lovely words and what a lovely photograph!
Each a little nugget of lovely memories. It's also interesting to learn of the native trees around the world.
