The slide show is stunning – I’d love to see all these sites. <br /><br />Philosophy is important – in France it is a requirement to have a year of philosophy study, but in the US I don’t think it is a requirement, and that is sad. <br /><br />That is a beautiful and huge tree. We visited old gardens in Long Island, New York, last week and saw many old trees – I took so many pictures of them. That is a nice post.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-65664724024241929522011-10-10T17:39:01.288+13:002011-10-10T17:39:01.288+13:00Trees are so wise.Trees are so wise.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621937316200868307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-9413333076395341592011-10-08T03:52:28.445+13:002011-10-08T03:52:28.445+13:00Thank you for these words of wisdom and for the im...Thank you for these words of wisdom and for the image of this magnificent eucalyptus tree. We have a love/hate relationship with eucalyptus trees here in California. We love them because of their beauty and usefulness, but we hate them because their strong fragrance squelches all native plants in their shadow. I love making wreaths out of eucalyptus leaves and pods.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-37295702590121478572011-10-05T18:11:31.463+13:002011-10-05T18:11:31.463+13:00As always Marja your posts inspire me to think out...As always Marja your posts inspire me to think outside the square.<br />I adore trees, I am in awe of their resilience.<br />Bless you my friend and have a wonderful break.<br />Warmest hugs<br />Peggy xxxxxmiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-64765819425364910032011-10-04T21:09:53.726+13:002011-10-04T21:09:53.726+13:00wow...wonderful...never thought of these while loo...wow...wonderful...never thought of these while looking to all those trees in the park... :)Misterio Vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396947981573285341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-3802342489238879652011-10-04T19:24:11.407+13:002011-10-04T19:24:11.407+13:00Beautiful poem and thoughts Marja.
