Trees (Calendar, illustrated edition)

Who has not heard the wind stirring fall leaves and suddenly felt a coming winter's chill? Or noticed the first yellow-green bud and felt light with the promise of spring? Trees are symbols of life and of nature's miracles, of wisdom. They star in legends and stories from all cultures and all ages. We plant them to mark an event, we hug them, we harvest their riches, we seek their sweet shade on a hot day. In city and country, trees of all kinds color our lives and their seasonal transformations pace our sense of passing time. Resting under a winter's snow, marking the turn of a country road, shading a field from a summer's heat: here are trees in all their glory.
