Tree Trio #ThursdayTreeLove

Yesterday, the oppressive (by our standards-my readers in India would laugh for hours if I stated the temperature, so I won't) heat was back, but we wanted to walk outside, and we ended up taking a 30 minute or so walk along a flood wall.

We admired these trees.

Trees don't have the option to duck into shade or air conditioning.  They stand, rain or shine, heat or cold, sun or ice.

Some have showy blooms.   By this time of year, our trees are mostly done blooming.

Some of them stand alone. 

This tree is actually three separate trees, each with what appears to be three trunks. The mini-grove stands near the Susquehanna river in the Southern Tier of New York.  

People like quotes with trees.  I don't have a quote for today. Instead, here's a tree joke:

Q.  What are three trees standing together called?

A.  A trio.

  2. ...I think that this actually is more than a trio. When these trees started their life in a nursery, several separate plants were grouped together to form a clump.

  6. I admire trees that stand alone and struggle bravely with the elements of climate : wind, rain, sunshine. Unlike us , people, who seek shadow and protection from cold and heat.

  7. I wonder if trees like heat. I mean, the leaves would definitely like bright sunlight. And they don't sense the air like we do. I imagine that scorching heat that evaporates the water wouldn't be great, but there is water under the earth... It's a random thought.

  12. ha ha! I liked the joke about the weather. You bet on how hot it gets in India so glad you didn't mention the actual temperature. :P
    Love that shot and the trio. It must have been a nice walk and cooler by the water body. See you around. I am very behind my edition so trying to catch up.
