Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
lol beautiful title, love the compo, but then you'll find out I love trees, and I'd gladly hug one :)

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine. I love trees too. I've hugged trees on a number of occasions. My favorite was a 2,000-year-old cedar on Meares Island off Vancouver Island. It was 6 meters across. The Indians there believe that just by walking near such trees you pick up their energy. I think I picked up a sliver in my cheek too. Wonderful experience.
@Laurent: Thank you for your kind comment.
@Sinus: I appreciate the positive remark. Many thanks.
@Vida: I thank you for your comment, Vida.
