Trees!

I love trees. It's as simple as that. In college I had a theory that people fit into two categories: trees or wind. Those that are trees are more solid, firm in their foundation and adapt less to change. Those that are wind are adventurous, nomadic and thrive on change. But the two need each other - trees only 'come alive' when the wind rustles through the leaves and the wind would not have much purpose and couldn't be 'seen' if it didn't have something to intertwine with. So I have always enjoyed watching the interaction between wind and trees. There are no words to describe the trees we viewed in Maine. We happened to be at Bar Harbor during the peak weekend for color change. If I tried to find a word, these come to my mind:
breathtaking
gorgeous
magnificent
shocking
awesome
beautiful
brilliant
But none could really do justice...

I'm downloading a few pictures today of some of our favorite trees. Later this week we'll post more blog entries regarding the Acadia National Park, lighthouse tour, and shoreline. Enjoy!!

Blessed is the man...[whose] delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 1:1a, 2-3
