Feeling the texture of the bark smooth and rough with my hands.
  I can still smell the fragrance of the earth uncovered beneath the forest blanket. I can hear the wind coming . . . the leaves and branches shivering in the wind's presence. 
My eyes are filled with detail, millions of leaves and limbs casting ever-changing shadows.

I have always had a love for trees. As a boy I remember searching for a tree to climb. Listening quietly and waiting high among the branches all my senses seemed intensified. 

"High among the branches I found my escape. High among the branches I felt the peace and power of God." 

My drawings are more than  an escape;
they are a form of worship.

Trees are aesthetic works
of wonder.

Don't take our trees for
granted.

Enjoy them.
Admire them.

Look out your window. I hope you see a tree. I hope you see a forest. Are the trees naked or covered with leaves? Open the window. Can you hear the wind?

Do you see birds and squirrels enjoying the shelter? Do you see a place for a picnic?
