One Tree Hill

The ferns continued to draw ever closer as I went down a unused trail. As I surveyed my surroundings, I felt ever smaller as the monstrous trees loomed above me. The sun was barley shining because of all of the dense fog, which was just above the tree tops. What sun did come through made the light seem almost as if you were in a dream. As I continued down the path, the smell the salty air of the ocean permeated my lungs. The salty sea air mingled with the smell of fresh earth and life. The…

things the landscaper can do to make your trees more appealing. Remove The Lower Branches Removing the lower branches, also known as raising a tree, has several advantages.

This gives you easier access to your yard for mowing, walking on the lawn, and playing in the yard. It's also a good idea to remove lower…

Useless Tree The theme topic is judgment. Judgment is when you are making assumptions on a person or living being based on their looks or personality. For example, if a person looks, dresses ugly or looks poor in life they might actually be rich. But they just want to be an individual. People's judgment might hurt the person very deeply. while in life they won't show it to you. Judging people isn't good because that person might get hurt emotionally and maybe physically too. The useless tree…

I felt the harsh dirt under my feet. Bobbing my head, I swayed back and forth, struggling to avoid hitting my head on the low branches that filled the dense forest. In the background of my thoughts, I heard my friends trying to talk to me, asking me, “Hey, you gonna jump?” “Mmm..hmmm,” I replied. Their question didn’t matter to me. I wasn’t interested in what they had to say, only intense focus filled my mind, about what I was about to do. Distraught about my decision to sneak out with my…

Many people have questions about whether their neighbors can block access to their solar panels with shading or not. In the Solar Panels vs Trees case, the tree blocking the solar panels from the direct sunlight. Mr. Treanor and Mr. Vargas both are environmentally friendly. “ In terms of loving the environment, it seems that neither one can top the other”.

On Saturday November 17th I went and observed the local woods of the Back 40 on the Messiah College campus in Grantham Pennsylvania, the block of land there is actually home to white tail deer and other mammals. The woods change quite drastically as one moves farther from the yellow breaches where deciduous sycamore trees and conifers such as tamaracks are common to a more mature oak forest. The weather leading up to this observation had been relatively wet and rainy, the leaves on the ground…

children’s book, “The Giving Tree” there are many life lessons displayed. The tree selflessly gave everything she had without taking a second thought; while they boy selfishly took everything the tree had to offer without thinking twice. The boy went the tree and said, “I want…” although he did not say he “needed” the things he received he treated it in that way. He should take life easier, and not let his life be ruled by his wants. If he would’ve let his love for the tree rule his life, he…

Yosemite When I was seven, my family and I entered the enchanted forest known as Yosemite for a campout. It seemed as trees decided to invade the barren Earth. As I stepped out of the car, the smell of sticky, brown sap running down a maple tree smashed my face like an arrow pinning its target to a barrier. The sap threatened to suffocate me with it’s sulfurous smell. The next few days flew by as fast as a falcon catching its prey. Until we were going to play in the river. “Whoohoo!” I…

can’t avoid drifting her eyes towards the window and looking at a giant tree dripped by the early morning dew. The tree has aged immensely and it somehow resembles her, she thinks the texture of the bark looks like the wrinkles on her body. Fifty years living in the same countryside humble house, it was incredible how such an ordinary tree could bring back so many vivid sad and happy memories. She asks her soul: Will the loved ones still remember me when that inevitable day come? Quickly a…
