Few years back, I lived in the woods every weekend, but I promise no "Cuban Fish" stories here.
Always enjoy your shots, and since I'm familiar with some of the areas they are taken from, I find them all the more interesting.
Since I'm not fully back to my routines and have too much time to read here and become even more frustrated on NT, I find your seeds to be, dare I say, a safe space
I think about all the things trees have meant to me and mankind in general. They are one of the most significant forms of life on our planet. They live long, provide shade and shelter, fruit and nuts to eat, syrup and sugar to sweeten our food, newspapers, books, magazines, writing paper, and materials with which to build our own shelters and furniture, and comfort, utility and visual and physical warmth within our homes, beauty no matter what the season - Spring blossoms, Summer green fullness, Autumn colours, and after a freezing winter rainstorm a crystal paradise.
Why shouldn't people hug them to show their appreciation? Why shouldn't we appreciate seeing the beautiful photos of them that you have provided?
"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree." (Joyce Kilmer)
I can add even more to what trees have provided to us - birch bark to build canoes, wood to build paddles and parts of tools, baskets and boxes, and the roots hold back land and mudslides. Trees provide homes for animals and birds, and beavers build dams with them.

In 1988 I went to Muir Woods with a tour group; as the bus unloaded, most of the tourists walked directly into the friggin' gift shop and many never walked through the woods! How can some people be so myopic?
Not a thing wrong with hugging a tree.
Not even a Dogwood.
Love me some woods.

Really nice composition, Buzz.

The beauty of trees, well done Mac and Buzz. Beautiful photos.
Crape Myrtle in my yard...The tree behind it is around 40/45 ft high.
Great addition to the discussion.
It blossoms beautifully.
Very Nice Pics.....I plan to do a Winter Photo Tour here shortly, though it is currently 65 degrees here in Western New York!
Not a picture of mine, but I have always loved Redwoods, especially after visiting Redwood National Park a few decades ago.
Maybe I like them because They seem to fit my personality.

Always happy to see you on my discussions, ME.

Great quote with the photo … many thanks.
I just typed in "Images of Redwoods, and that's what I got. not sure where it came from.
Mendocino Redwoods.
