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.

A trio! I like it! Your tree photograph is beautiful.
ReplyDelete...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.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a groaner …
ReplyDeleteIt does look like one tree. It looks a like nice place to take a walk, and in the heat rest under the trio.
ReplyDeleteIt took me awhile, "tree-o"-- it should not have taken me awhile....
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. Where do you live?!! Our temp. has been 90 deg.+ for the past week. We lived in Victorville, CA (Mojave desert) and hot there was horrible. Having such great trees was a gift.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love your trees and I hope I can remember your trio joke. I'm bad a jokes.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much energy and lush green in one place
ReplyDeleteSounds like a beautiful walk by the river! Love the tree trivia!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I think with old trees, its difficult to tell if its one or more plants growing together.
ReplyDeleteha 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
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
Beautiful post!
