TREES
Information
A group devoted to the art of trees: free medium. Without trees the world would be dead and a place of disaster. With trees the world can tackle global warming. Hug a tree and you hug the earth, you hug yourself and your neighbors. Without trees, no love!
Without love, no trees.
A sequel to the mail art project SIGNS and STONES and TREES (of 1998).
Guido Vermeulen started this group. After his death the IUOMA members keep it alive with posting photos and drawings of TREES in memory of Guido.

THE MAGIC OF TREES
Dear Guido,
I love trees!
Trees are so good to us, giving us oxygen to breathe, cleaning our water, providing shade in their life and shelter in their death.
They give us this paper, the pencil I write words with, and the envelope I painted.
Trees are magical, like all plants, magical little things that grow into magical big thins that are essential to so many of us other magical life forms in this amazing, magical universe.
TREES ARE MAGIC.
When I am with trees, big and small, I wonder like a child.
I know the scientific explanations of their life cycles and the processes of their doings.
I have even listened to trees as recorded by a hydrophone as their cells thirsted for water.
Still, no amount of knowledge can evaporate the mist of awe and wonder I feel in the presence of trees.
Trees are our kindred.
They, too, are born to live. And born to die.
In between they are silent witnesses to the magic of the universe.
Happy Earth Day,

What a great idea, Guido, thanks, dank!
Also I love trees a lot, because of their beauty and impressiveness, and because of the fact they are good for our health and they give home to so many other creatures.
Great to see so many beautiful Tree pictures here!
Alas close to our house many trees were cut down.
One piece of mail art I made because of this sad fact is the Mona Triste (sent to the gallery of "E").And my wondering why so little people then resisted this cruel act I turned into this stamp design:
A few more trees sent and received are shown here, and thanks to Rachel Freeman's post I learned to know the Lorax. The Lorax who had spoken for the trees (here part 2) and who shows us now that in all these decades after, we people still haven't learnt that trees, nature, are so much more important for the well-being of us all (and of our descendants) than many things we 'think' important but which in fact are spoiling our earth...

Thanks, we spent a lot of time among them that weekend, and it does feel like a magical spot. Even the deer, rabbits, birds, and moles think so; they hung out with us.

Great trees, Nancy! And thanks Sue, I see that you are a painter of trees, too! I usually do large acrylic paintings, but there are a few small watercolor/pencil sketches from my summer days by the seaside:
