TREES

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,

Hi friends,

I would love to receive the A&P also.

The blossoming cherries all around me are an inspiration!

Eagerly awaiting.

Good morning!

Yesterday, I received and A&P from Bill Porter and now it is done.

Who would be interested in working on it, next?

Please let me know.

Thanks

It does look a bit grungy, doesn't it?  Thanks for the photo!   Problem is that I like how cheap postcard stamps are!  Frugal me....

Pam McVay's "Trees Across the Lake" arrived today. Nicely done, Pam, and thankfully, the USPS didn't clobber the image side too terribly bad.
Thank you, Pam!!!
