If Trees Can Talk- An Update

I am reposting this article I wrote several months ago, after I saw my youngest daughter paintings of trees as published in her Face Book page as follows:


Del Ray Artisans is with Ditas Katague and 
7 others
 at Del Ray Artisans.

17h Alexandria, VA 
Come have a look at the “Lovely As A Tree” Art Exhibit (August 1–30, 2025), which explores the ways in which trees impact our lives and this earth.
Del Ray Artisans members bring aspects of this natural phenomenon to artistic life through painting, photography, ceramics, items created from wood and other mediums that flow from their prolific imaginations.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, August 1 between 7-9pm to meet curator Robyn Seaton McGarry and many of the artists.



From My Readings the other day, I saw several photos of giant trees.  I was so amazed by the beautiful photos of giant, twisted, and old trees, I am inspired to share it with you in this posting. The only label you have to keep in mind while looking at the following photos, is this Question.  "If Trees Could Talk, I Wonder what stories It Could Tell".  Here are the photos for your viewing pleasure.













     Meanwhile here's the iconic Blood Dragon trees endemic in Socotra Island, Yemen


And the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree
The Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) is a striking tree known for its multicolored bark, which peels away in patches at different times, revealing bright green layers that gradually age into shades of blue, purple, orange, and maroon. This process is a natural adaptation that protects the tree from pests and disease while contributing to its unique, ever-changing appearance. It is one of the few eucalyptus species that thrive in tropical rainforests, particularly in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

Lastly, here's my favorite Poem on Trees by Joyce Kilmer:

and the Ancient Tree and the Baobab tree endemic to African countries
