I am in love. . !

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.

It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

~ Judy Garland ~

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope that in the near future I get the opportunity to change my opinion, that..

Love is just different degrees of mutual dependence...

(that's dark hey!)
It is fun however to get sucked up in the hype of the day...

BUT I still wear black just to clearly state my opinion..

Hope you have a good one!

The Tree-lined road

One afternoon not so long ago rObC took me on a mini-adventure, to a 2.8km tree-lined road on the outskirts of Bloemfontein. It was in the middle of winter, but even then, this road was beautiful with the trees making a canopy of leaves above. We forgot the camera - which could have fitted in the top-box, so we vowed that we would take pictures of the trees in summer.

There is something about driving underneath a canopy of leaves that leaves me feeling breathless with awe.

In the trees, there are beehives, although there weren't as many as during the winter.

a Few people share my feelings about trees:

***

The groves were God's first temples.

~William Cullen Bryant, "A Forest Hymn" ~

***

The trees are God's great alphabet:

With them He writes in shining green across the world, His thoughts serene.

~Leonora Speyer~

***

There is always music amongst the trees in the garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.

~Minnie Aumonier~

***

Alone with myself, the trees bend to caress me, the shade hugs my heart.

~Candy Polgar~
