‘Enough’ is a feast.
– Buddhist proverb
Say hello to this Oak. My first ever Oak and I loved how majestic it looked. Tall, old and with a grandeur like none other. This tree is from my Minneapolis work trip in Oct-Nov 2023.
As I close 2023 with this one last post of the year, here is a heartfelt gratitude to this community of tree lovers I call mine. I haven’t met a bunch as loving and as forgiving as you all are. Your love for trees inspires me and keeps me going. I know there are times I miss an edition but I love that I have your support. Thank you for always being here with me.
It matters more than you can imagine. Here’s wishing you and yours a great start to 2024 and I can’t wait to see you back in the new year.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on January 11, 2024. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog, tell me where did you spot the tree and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.

A tree common where I live, but not common to many others. Thursday Tree Love has taught me a lot over the time I’ve participated and I’ve enjoyed the introduction to trees uncommon for my area. Happy 2024 to you all. Alana ramblinwitham Here’s my post: https://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2023/12/trees-decorated-and-new-zone.html

Thanks, Parul. I’m active on blogging but with less frequency. I’m unable to devote a lot of time to blogging. I hope I can join you a few times in a year. I also see many other bloggers getting busy with “life” over the last few years! I have not been hiking so much, lately. Hope you are doing well.

My story is the same Arvind. Wrote two posts a month and mostly they were the tree loves. But I also don’t want to give away the blog and blogging. So I’m trying as much as I can. I am very busy at work and that’s what has kept me off. Hope all is okay with you too

As we begin the year may you be blessed with good health, happiness and harmony, love and hugs to you.
