Nature Blog Network

Journals about the natural world


Tree Notes is now a member of the Nature Blog Network, a portal for 777 (so far!) sites about our planet's flora, fauna, ecosystems, and other topics related to the natural world. If you enjoy reading about nature, or if you're researching a topic that relates to nature, the Nature Blog Network is a site worth exploring.

I learned about the Nature Blog Network from Carolyn at Nature Art Photography and Paintings, who is also a member. You might enjoy seeing the beautiful art at Carolyn's site as well.

Howlo to you, Tilin. I don't know if any of your friends come here or not. A lot of visitors come to this blog, but most of them are very quiet and don't say a word. Maybe they don't want to wake any sleeping trees, do you suppose? Anyway, thanks for your note. It's always a pleasure to hear from you, and I hope that you're enjoying a beautiful spring in Wine Country.



Enrich your life with the study of trees.

"The power to recognize trees at a glance without examining their leaves or flowers or fruit as they are seen, for example, from the car-window during a railroad journey, can only be acquired by studying them as they grow under all possible conditions over wide areas of territory. Such an attainment may not have much practical value, but once acquired it gives to the possessor a good deal of pleasure which is denied to less fortunate travelers."

Charles Sprague Sargent (1841-1927)
