tree tops (kansas from a car, scenes from I-70)
















some people think
kansas
doesn't have trees

but i can tell you
it isn't so

oh no,
there are trees

tantalizing trees!

they sway
in summer's breeze
and bend to winter's
blizzard

in spring
filled with praise
they raise their arms
high

and wave to all
who pass by

symbols of mercy
are trees
such
as these


*The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber.  The tree is a slow enduring force, straining to win the sky.  ~Antoine de St. Exupery

  1. Terry,
    I'm just loving your "from a car" series. I had never thought about using this type of creative look. Thanks.

  2. Hi Harold! I am so pleased that you are enjoying this series. I have had such fun with it. The drive to Colorado was certainly made shorter and more fun by the challenge of seeing in a new way and trying to capture the idea. (Another benefit of Alison's class.)Do you think i'm selling anyone on Kansas????? :)
