cleveland854321: TREES

The Farmville video game makes it so easy. Just point the cursor and a full grown tree appears from thin air. Farmville makes gardening and tree planting so easy and effortless. Sadly however, planting a tree is never that easy. First, a hole must be dug. If the Gentle Reader plants a seed, then there is the long wait for the seed to burst out of the soil. Of course, the Gentle Reader could go to a garden supply store and purchase a fully grown baby tree to be planted into the ground. Then the wait for the baby tree to grow into an adult tree could take years. It could take decades. It could take centuries. Heck, five centuries could pass before the baby tree turns into an adult. The beauty of trees is that the possible immortality of such a thing---Assuming it doesn't get chopped down or get cut down by disease. The tree you plant will outlive the Gentle Reader and a large majority of the Gentle Reader's descendants---Assuming the conditions work for the benefit of the tree.
And as I'm lost in thought about the beautiful majesty of trees, here are some photos of Nikki Reed and Jamie Chung.
