This is a beautiful raised tree that I found while hiking in Liverpool, Nova Scotia last month. The greenery and moss are my favourite parts of this photo.

I like to sit on the bench and listen to those trees by the lake. They are just like some good friends with warm hearts to be company for a quiet time.

I walked all over my city snapping photos of trees to submit into the photo contest, in the end I chose this one, located in Gage Park Hamilton, because it was so beautiful I even stopped in the pouring rain to admire it, I hope you enjoy its beauty as much as I do.

I see a great tree standing before me.
An old sugar maple tree.
It’s an impeccable sight.
Standing all these years with might.
A heavy wind rages at the ancient branches.
But the bark and leaves are untouched.
It’s truly a great tree, standing for centuries.

Your grand canopy once gave us oxygen and shade,
You sequestered carbon from our emissions manmade.
You grew berries and seeds for our forest dwellers,
You gave fruit and nuts to stock in our cellars.
But now that you’ve passed, you continue to give.
Your remains still stand, so that others may live.
Bluebirds, Wood Ducks, and Great Crested Flycatchers,
Owls and Chickadees, Tree Swallows and Woodpeckers.
All sorts of fauna and fungi as well,
Can feed from your trunk or find shelter to dwell.
I wish all would give pause to cutting you down…
Beholding your majesty, though you’ve lost your crown.
One should think twice before grabbing the saw.
I’m glad you’re included in Burlington’s Tree By-law.
