“The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still.” — Leon Brown
On the first day of October, I went alone on a long walk. Usually I am with friends but that day I was on my own. So I walked for around two hours and then sat here at this bench just feeling the air, the environment and I paused. I don’t do pauses. I keep going but that day I felt the need. I felt the quiet and in that moment I knew I will share this moment with you all. You are my tree-love community and you all are my friends.
Life has been going a little rocky for me. I want to stay strong and positive as life throws these curveballs. So here I am asking for grace for missing the last edition. And just share with you and the universe that I will be here and sharing as much as can. Know that I love you all for making this my happy place.
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 November 13, 2025. 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.

Thank you for letting us know, Parul. I know about surprise curveballs when we need our happy places. It’s good to take a pause with nature. The trees are good listeners.

Beautiful stillness quote as well as the picture. Sometimes in life a pause or stillness can provide the needed solution. Nature listens to us calmly. Stay strong
