Trees can be very tall.
They can touch the sky.
The trunks and roots are their legs.
The branches are their hands.
The leaves are their eyes and ears.

The trees can be  great artists.  They always hide their artistic lines around them.  If you look around carefully, you will be able to discover them.

Although some of the trees have come to the end of their lives.  The shape of their trunk will still show their artistic beauty for decades, hundreds of years or even thousands of years.

There is a hole in this trunk.  I wish there was a rabbit like the one mentioned in a fairy tale staying inside and say hello to me.  But I wouldn’t know how I am going to react if this happened.

They might also turn themselves into a good place for mosses to grow onto.

Big and small branches on the trees look like roads and streets.

If you have studied Biology, you would know that there is a transport system in plants.  The water is transported from root to leaves by xylem, and the organic nutrients generated by photosynthesis (particularly sucrose is transported to all parts of the plant where needed by phloem.

The transport system in a tree must be very complicated and there are many junctions.  But I don’t think a traffic light nor a flyover bridge is needed for them to have a proper transport system.

This tree has soft branches.  Its hands look like girls’ soft hands and fingers, dancing gently in the sky.

Some of the trees have simple branches, some have complicated branches.

This tree was bleeding.  The latex in light brown is its blood.  The latex was dried in the air, but I don’t think the tree will stopped bleeding.  I did not touch it, it might be poisonous or cause skin problems.

If I am not mistaken, this is the maple tree.  Some of the leaves have dried and turned brown.  In autumn, it will turn into the colour of falls.  The whole tree will have ‘red hair’.
