U is for Unspoiled, Undisturbed.

Devil’s Den State Park, Arkansas

Listen to the trees
talking in their sleep.
What nice dreams
they must have!

    Lovely photo and who can resist a quote from Anne of Green Gables? I will play the music another time. Dinner on the stove and hubs doesn’t care for Enya. I like her!

    They dream about little critters running through their branches and giving them a type of back rub.

    Beautiful post! I love to stroll through ‘unspoiled’ forests. The beautiful video by Enya of the Memories of the trees, reminded me of the movie Avitar.

    I love this quote, and the picture goes along so well. Anne was such a staple of my growing up!

    Ultimately and utterly Awesome picture and quote u chose for the letter “u,” Talya! It’s funny, but when I think of trees speaking, the first thing I think about is the Ents from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books. I do like trees, and we had a couple of huge trees in our backyard until last year when we had to have them removed. It was a sad couple of days seeing them cut down, and we sure miss them.
