Early morning sunlight
There is cool to be felt in the shade
The branches reach far into the blue of the sky
My tree under the bright blue of a Summer sky
Images of my beautiful tree, Eucalyptus Haemastoma, taken in the early morning on a day in Spring, September 2011 and one image during that Summer. I was very ill with pneumonia and likely to be hospitalised; though very weak I ventured out to my tree and the freshness of the morning air. The bark was cool against my face, I found much strength in its beauty, the canopy, the leaves and branches as they reached into the sky. I hugged my tree, it is sacred to me and gives me strength even now.
When I was in hospital for heart surgery back in December, 2003, I remember the sterilty of the hospital, the noise, no sleep. I longed to be home in the fresh air amongst familiar scents and sounds. My first day home is still memorable, the beauty of that day ... the brightness, the sky, the fresh air, the scents of my flowers blossoming, the colours, my tree, the birds singing. I was blessed. My painful recovery was still ahead of me but I never take the beauty of Nature or trees for granted, I came so close to not ever experiencing any of it again.

Oh Dianne, so happy I'm finally here to comment. And I can just lie under that tree...getting myself immersed in all the beauty of nature it brings..the feeling is so real! So lucky of you to have those trees by your side anytime you want! I used to dream of these kind of trees in the fairy tales Hansel and Gretel.. I was Gretel of course; lost in the woods but surrounded by the huge beautiful trees! Thanks Dianne for not giving up on me and my blog..
Nice trees Dianne....pictures in big size are really BEAUTIFUL.....it's a good post again.
Warm greetings and a big hug from Holland,

Yes, I am most fortunate to have these trees in my garden, plus the many I have planted. They are beautiful to look at, to touch, give some shade and the leaves have the lovely fragrance eucalyptius plus tiny white flowers.
Take care my friend.

Hello Dear dianne,
You know how i feel about trees....i can understand and feel every little feelings you've put in here aboutyour relationship with this particuliar tree....whenever i'm standing next to a tree i can litterally feel it talking to me, i can feel their energy, joy and pain....whever i come close to one i always feel welcomed by its presence, i can smell their very distinct odeur...almost like it was telling me its personal name.
Your post reminded me of all such simple yet majestic things in which life is wrapped.
thankyou Dianne for this sharing!
hugs

Thank you dear col for your lovely words, yes, we both share an affinity with trees, I know how much you love and connect with them. They are a wonder of nature and support and protect so many animals and birds.
This tree has been a source of much strength and beauty for me, I have watched it grow for over twenty years, in many seasons and admired its beauty in all kinds of light.
hugs
Dianne
