Tree Contest:

Tree contest 4/20/11 Roxanna Johnson "To hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature." **** Branches sway in this warm season of early May. Hot sands and bare feet sounds of ocean waves cool the afternoon heat. Cold drinks and lawn chairs sit underneath my special tree. This is the happiest I'll ever be. Lying here with large palms shading my eyes I watch boats on the emerging tide rise. This tree provides shade on hot days it soothes and comforts me in some ways. It is a beautiful tall palm tree that makes me smile. Now I think I'll just lie under it for a long while.
