"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree." ~ Joyce Kilmer


The following pictures were taken on the Buffalo Valley
Nature Trail at the Center Hill Dam.


A tree whose hungry mouth is prest against the sweet
earth's flowing breast;


A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her
leafy arms to pray;


A tree that may in summer wear a nest of
robins in her hair;


Upon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately
lives with rain.


Poems are made by fools like me, but only
God can make a tree."
