The Trees Sing to me when I Listen

When the trees sing,

It doesn't really matter

If you know the song,

Or if you know the words,

Or even if you know the tune.


What really matters

is knowing ....

That the trees are singing at all.

    Hi Noel,
    One of my favourite quotes, and it matches your photos so well! Great photos, you captured the image and the singing.

    That's fabulous, Noel. Glad that the tsunamis weren't a problem (we were worried about your paradise).

    What gorgeous skies! Would love to go to Hawaii one day. Glad to hear you didn't have any problems due to Chili's quake. Love your verse, as well.
