I’m thanking you, GOD, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders. I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I’m singing your song, High God.
Psalm 9:1-2 MSG
Trees are beautiful gifts from God, so it’s fitting that #ThursdayTreeLove falls on Thanksgiving. The Bible verses above perfectly speak my feelings when I’m in the presence of trees. They fill my heart, leaving me light and joyful, singing songs for the Most High.
For today’s tree love I’m sharing photos of the other campus tree I stalk during autumn. I captured these images on a rainy day two weeks ago and could hardly wait to share them. The tree gets much brighter than this, but unfortunately, the cold rainy days kept me away from shooting more. By now, I’m sure, the tree is bare–and that’s another kind of beauty I look forward to sharing.
Enjoy the few images below. [Click an image for a closer look]
Last Friday’s post, “Wait and Hope,” featured a preview of the tree. I learned from Sharon of Ink Flare, who commented about her love for gingko leaves, that this is a gingko tree. Thanks, Sharon!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Pardon the one-post interruption of “Sunflower Week,” but #ThursdayTreeLove comes only twice a month, and I cannot resist sharing the trees. No worries. I’ll be back with sunflowers tomorrow and the next day.
I am joining Parul Thakur for #ThursdayTreeLove every second and fourth Thursday of the month. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link it back to her latest #treelove post.
Also, linking up with Dawn of The Day After in the Festival of Leaves photo challenge.

Admiring trees is definitely one way to give thanks. That looks like a ginkgo and they do have the most beautiful yellow fall color.

Sorry. I wanted to send my mom an envelope full of leaves, but then it rained for days. Now, I have to wait for things to dry out and hope they’re not moldy. If I can collect enough, maybe, I’ll send you an envelope full of autumn too!

You’re so kind, Parul! I visited that tree Monday. It is now completely bare. I’m kind of missing #treelove, since last Thursday was a 5th Thursday and today is a 1st Thursday. Oh well…gives me more time to consider the trees!
