The tree elicits a cold and sad feeling. It is physically present yet
somehow absent at the same time. Unlike death, this is a temporary
state. The tree remains silent and still during this brief hibernation.
As the season shifts into summer, the apple tree slowly comes back to
life. Previous monotones of grey change to various shades of vivid
colour.
In the summer, the apple tree reaches its full glory. Plush and green,
it stands tall and proud. The branches reach out high, tickling the
power lines above it. The leaves rustle carefree with delight while
dancing in the wind. Full of activity and sound, it has become
somewhat of an airport, as the birds continuously fly in and out of its
thick foliage. Chirping and singing can be heard from early morning
until late at night.
Trees are truly a marvel of nature, and if we don’t protect them, we
are only betraying ourselves. Trees provide food, shelter, and even
the air we breathe. Without trees, life would simply cease to exist.
