anticipation

keeping very still

dormant
expectant
vigilant

silent with anticipation

no impatience

waiting for the green

Lynne said...: Wonderful photos of such majestic looking trees! What kind of trees are they?

I am trying to think green thought but it's hard when your whole world is WHITE outside your window. We were buried in 2+ feet of snow last week. Needless to say, it's still here!

Thanks for reminding me that spring can't be too far away.; 12:22 PM
Barbara said...: I guess the trees have to just take it on faith that their greenery will come back each spring. It must seem like a long wait as they hang out nakedly waiting.; 1:33 PM

Giulia said...: Letty--wonderful shots & yes, waiting impatiently here,too. The tree looks patient, though.

Do you mind saying where you took these? I'm reading Andrew Motion's bio of Keats & it just immediately put me in mind of Hampstead Heath. (Though obviously, big old twisted trunk trees are everywhere near you.)

lettuce said...: As I cycled into work this morning I realised I hadn't said anything about where I took these.... I shall add something in the post. Anyway, they were all taken in Greenwich Park, and they are sweet chestnut trees.; 6:11 PM
Ronda Laveen said...: I see so many faces in those tree trunks.; 9:58 PM

Brian Miller said...: wonderful post...is it just me or are there faces in those trees...maybe its just me...and i need to go to bed...; 3:32 AM
Kris McCracken said...: The colour green has a wavelength of 500 to 565 nanometers in the visible spectrum. It comes in several shades. An interesting fact is that the human eye is able to easily discern the green colour from long distances.

I have a nice pair of green socks.; 8:11 AM
