These Trees Are Some of Nature’s Finest Poetry

The poet Joyce Kilmer said it best when he said, “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.” A tree planted in the ground just grows there with patience and persistence over many years, some spanning hundreds of years. These photos are a testament to the trees’ majesty and spirit, form and function that only Nature can produce. (Above: 144-Year-Old Wisteria In Japan)
