    I’ve been to Pheonix in the summer – your words radiate with that heat

    Alas, there is not enough shade to hide from the Sonoran heat – but that light green foliage stands out nicely against the grayish desert soil…

    A lovely photo, Teach! I prefer trees to (most) humans.

    as to your six words- in this summer heat, I’d love to have both. as for the poet Joyce Kilmer- there is nothing man can make as lovely as tree.

    Beautiful and peaceful, if hot.
    Yes, trees are better companions than humans. They listen and don’t judge. Or if they are judging, they keep their judgment to themselves.

    The trees are a delightful shade of mystical green in contrast with the blue of the sky.

    Love that color of green against the color of the blue sky!

    trees are much better friends in the out of doors.
