It’s a little early for cherry blossoms, but hard to complain. Also we’ve got more daffodils & even hyacinth! Pictured: Prunus x incam ‘Okamé’, Petticoat daffodils (Narcissus bulbcodium), Maule’s quince (Chaenomeles japonica’Contorta,’ and hyacinth ‘Anastasia.’ . . . . . #CherryBlossoms #CherryTree #prunus #prunusxincam #bellfloweredcherry #cherry #tree #Treetuesday #RVA #Rvagardentrail #narcissus #springnotspring #hyacinth (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JyZT9JBPQ/?igshid=b5s6jpa57p1d

Way back, early in my use of Instagram, I would post tree photo on Tuesdays with the tag #TreeTuesday. Now, I did not come up with this idea or this tag, it was just something I saw and thought it was fun to join in. Well, I am jumping back in. You see this past weekend a big multi-influencer fundraiser started on YouTube under the hashtag #TeamTrees. It’s a massive collective effort to raise money to plant trees, one dollar = one tree, with the goal being 20 million dollars/20 million trees by Jan 1, 2020. (Tree) For me, this (plantings trees) seems like an awesome use of social media. AND it also brings up a point I often discuss, How ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! So often we feel overwhelmed by things like climate change, wildlife trafficking, poaching and so on. This whole Team Trees thing came about because one person had an idea and other individuals joined in and now its a world wide fundraiser to get these tress in the ground. Never forget, You Make A Difference. . . . . . #Tress #ArborDayFoundation #YouMakeADifference #ThePowerOfOne #Leadership #LensFlare #WeGotThis #PlantATree #TreeHugger #HugATree #Nature #GetOutSide #Outdoors #YouTube #MakeADifference #MakingADifference (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ONsMOF7M6/?igshid=mbrc31mc5aa7

In 2017, the trees look...  When I originally went through this roll of Portra that took a trip through the Terrapin Bijou camera: I hated all the photos.  This week I’ve gone back to revisit some of the shots and find that I love some of them. Sometimes, it’s necessary to go back.

A beautiful old tulip poplar trunk and giant leaves from a bigleaf magnolia make a wonderful rainy day combination. Do you feel completely immersed in nature?
