Trees are spirits. Each tree holds the spirit of someone who has passed. The trees, like humans, come in all sorts of sizes and shapes and some are bent and some are stronger than others. Some seem to serve no purpose but they give off oxygen just as the mightiest of the them.
Man and the earth cannot exist without the natural things like the four legged beasts and the winged flyers, the crawlers and the swimmers. Man and earth would cease with out the plants, grasses, and the trees. But the world would flourish if the two leggeds were not here. Hug that tree for me. Tell it I said "Hello".

Hey Joe, (the Troll), where you going with that gun in yer hand? ( copyright, Jimmy Hendricks, but morer specifically, a guy named Billy Roberts, who later sold the rights to Dino Valenti, a guitarist in the San Francisco band Quicksilver Messenger Service.)
The Ostrich used to fly. One of many species of birds, that used to fly. They quit flying because they stopped using their wings. Here is an excerpt from a reputable article about birds that don't fly anymore:
Yet those vestigial wing bones suggest that, once upon a time, elephantbirds, same species as the ostrich, could indeed fly. They eventually lost that power through disuse as they adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle in a place free of predators. For the elephant-bird and many others, it was a choice that worked well--until their paths crossed with humans and the animals they brought with them. Although flightless birds make up fewer than 1 percent of the avian world, they represent one-third of the 75 or more bird species that have become extinct over the past 400 years.
All of this explaining could have been avoided if I didn't use the word "flyers", and instead just said winged ones. My costly error, but then again, you probably learned something today now didn't you?

That's so cool! The photos look so dream-like! Did you use a special filter?
