Earth’s the right place for love:
I don’t know where it’s likely to go better.

And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven…
– from Birches by Robert Frost (1874-1963)

I love that splash of red but it does rather dominate the picture. I had to look twice to take in the tree and the church! But what the heck, its a great composition.

Yes, I wouldn’t class it as the best photo, but I was struggling for something to go with this poem.

Somehow I’ve always visualized heaven as bit further away than the top of a tree, but poetic license and all. 🙂

That time of year – they ran this for a couple of weeks and you could write massages go love and/or remembrance and hang them in ether trees

I was always quite good at climbing but could not get down again – the heights panic set in.
