This was after listening to a radio programme where a man described how he "listened to trees" The man described how if you put your ear to a tree you could actually hear the thing living and breathing and taking up water through the trunk. I thought i would give it a go with my Eucalyptus in the garden....it was a wonderful experience of cracking popping and gurgling as this living thing lived its life taking nutrients and water from the earth that it was planted in. On a peaceful evening with a glass of white I now often listen to the tree with pride that I planted it and awe at the wonder of nature.We as a collective need to speak for and on behalf of the trees of Brookfield.....they are alive you know!Dogmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411796450598832600noreply@blogger.com
