Hugging a Tree by `TeaPhotography

TreachtreeWhat have you done you foolish woman? What have you done you foolish man?

Didn't you both understand that was the only ban?

You have killed me and left me for dead,

I will become no more than a weed that you both will tread.

However, my legacy won't die as long as the Earth sustains

Within my final fruit, one seed it contains.

I will send this seed to the center of the Earth

Precious metals and jewels are incomparable to its worth.

A tree will grow fruit that could stop all hunger.

It would cure all ailments and make an old body eternally younger.

No fruit in existence has an effect stronger,

A once an easily obtainable gift to humTreachtree by ~Dimensionwalker21

Magic of the TreesWe walked, painting footprints in the dirt,
reminders to recall trails blazed.
We peered up at the sky,
squinting against the sour lemon sun,
flickering down between dream catcher leaves,
and we made wishes come true.
The trees stood tall as giants,
supporting our spines, improving our posture,
for kisses that smelled of woods and tasted of sap.
And woodland creatures sang songs,
songs of love pushed to limits,
whispering careful reminders in our ears.
We tried each one out,
the big and little trees, the fat and skinny ones,
needing to know which one felt best,
when our lips pressed together.
And pictures only we would see weMagic of the Trees by *BeyondJen

The CovenantThe rowan tree stood between a gnarled apple and an errant hazel in what had been, at one time, an orchard. Later, left to its own devices, the orchard tried its best to revert to the wild but in time became appropriated into part of the large back garden of a small stone house.
The rowan, the mountain ash, had been planted by Alan’s grandfather and was now surrounded by a wooden seat built by Alan in his youth as a first project in woodworking.

His granddad, now nearly at the end of his term of life had advised him, told him the about the joints and the most appropriate wood to use. Alan fifteen and full of strength expected to finishThe Covenant by *aldwarke

For the Love of TreesA Tree
The world a blur to most
Most see a tree as a tree
The day you actually see
When the world is not the same world
A tree is no longer a tree
A tree is something that bears fruit
A tree is something beautiful
Even in the harshest winds
A tree stands its ground
A tree with leaves of majestic green
No longer just a tree
But a tree that is a work of art
That is the day you see the world
That is the day the world comes into focus
That is the day you truly see the tree

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

~ Joyce Kilmer from 'Trees', 1914

"When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. The second best time? Today."
- Chinese proverb

Welcome, tree lover! (and rules)

Trees have always been something more than just plants to the mankind. The worship of trees might be forgotten, but still the symbol of tree survives in our subconscious. Almost every nation has myths and legends about trees, placing the tree as the central axis of the world, or worshipping it as a dwelling place of gods or spirits, the giver of knowledge, connection between worlds or as ancestors of the tribe. And the fact that you are here proves that the love for trees survives until this day.

If you are interested in the role of trees in mythology, you can find more in this news article:

Magic TreesTrees have always been something more than just plants to the mankind. The worship of trees might be forgotten, but still the symbol of tree survives in our subconscious. Almost every nation has myths and legends about trees, placing the tree as the central axis of the world, or worshipping it as a dwelling place of gods or spirits, the giver of knowledge, connection between worlds or as ancestors of the tribe.
In Norse mythology, a giant ash tree - Yggdrasil - represents "axis mundi", around which the 9 worlds (the world of people - Middle-earth, being one of them) are organized. A giant snake, Níðhöggr, gnaws at its roots, but they always grow anew.

The biblical Tree of Knowledge has even some similarities to Yggdrasil. The snake is present, also, an

WE ARE A GROUP FOCUSED ON TREES IN TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL ART. For tree photography, go to our sister group
A tree or its part MUST be the main part of the picture, or at least one of its main parts.

Photography submissions to the gallery will be declined, but you can submit them to the group's favourites [link]

The submission limit is three works per day.

Our gallery folders are:

Traditional art - for traditional drawings and paintings

Digital art - for digital drawings and paintings

Literature - for poems and stories featuring trees

Crafts and Design - sculpture, body art, jewelery, bead work and everything handmade, also tattoo and t-shirt design

Fractal Trees - made with fractal programmes

Living monuments - is the only photography folder, but it's only for the photos of the most exceptional trees - biggest, oldest, with exceptional history... If the reason of submitting the photo into this folder is not obvious, it must be stated in the artist's comments. Please don't submit a photo of every bigger tree in your surroundings, the true living monuments are only a few, and collecting them is the sense of this folder.

Photomanipulation - must be easily discernable from a photo, not just a photo with some filters but more connected elements, and should be in the digital art-> photomanipulation cathegory

I hope you'll have a nice time in the group! If you have any questions, send a note to the group, or to me,
