“The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things . . . the trivial pleasure like cooking, one’s home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard.”
― Barbara Pym
I walk by this tree almost every day yet I never noticed that amidst the concrete jungle around me, this tree spreads warmth. We all do this all the time. Have you realized how we walk by a small flower and fail to notice it? We hear the birds singing but ignore it in the sound of the music that we play on the phone. We admire the pictures on Facebook but do not compliment the person we meet.
Don’t rush through your life. Some things need to be enjoyed and experienced. Life is one of them.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature on this blog. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Next week, I will link your posts on my blog and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.
Before you go, don’t forget to check the lovely trees that were shared last week on #ThursdayTreeLove – 13:
- The lovely Gulmohar tree that Esha captured
- Angela’s shot of the trees in the middle of water
- Arvind’s shot of the sun peeking through the clouds and the tree reaching more heights
- Natasha’s memories and the trees that matter
- In between the jungle as seen by Mayuri
- Another Gulmohar Tree by Balaka
- ‘We are trees’, says Anamika
What a beautiful quote Parul. I really do notice a flower amidst bushes, birds chirping amidst the noise. I am trying to be mindful.

Agree with you dear, and sometimes its so funny, wonder why are we in such a hurry; running around from completing one task after another, nothing like taking a walk and smelling the flowers… am in process, recently learnt to eat mindfully:) and learning to just “be” and enjoy the present. Thanks for sharing !!

That was a reminder to not let things go unnoticed. I feel trees are our guardian angels watching over us always.
