If one truly loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.
-- Vincent Van Gogh
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing which stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity, and by these I shall not regulate my proportions; and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
- William Blake

This tree likely lived through writing of Iliad (golden age of Athens), rise of Roman Empire, and birth of Christ; and then lived for 2000 years after that. It still produces olives, as well.

Pawpaw trees! I went down a little used trail and found some even bigger pawpaw groves. Pawpaws grow in clonal colonies, so the slender trunks in the third pic are most likely all the same pawpaw tree (like Pando, but on a smaller scale).
They need shade to sprout, but they flower and make fruit only when the sunbeams can touch them! They often form splendid little groves in areas where a large tree was cut down or felled in a storm.
Pawpaws are an example of a tree that thrives best with human caretakers. When the canopy closes up and the forest floor becomes dark and shady, the pawpaw trees no longer flower and make fruit. Cutting an occasional tree and/or managing the forest as a more open woodland creates good conditions for lots of pawpaw.
Which makes good conditions for other life! The pawpaw groves were filled with frolicking zebra swallowtail butterflies.
The zebra swallowtail butterfly's caterpillars can only eat the leaves of the pawpaw, much like monarch caterpillars need milkweed! There were many of them flying around in the sunlight.
...i tried, okay
There were loads of wasps, but they didn't bother me at all, they were too busy with their wasp business. The flies were numerous too—which makes sense; pawpaws need flies to pollinate their flowers! I saw tons of electric green tiger beetles and big tiger swallowtail butterflies. I hope the big beasts like elk and bison will be able to return soon...

The oldest olive tree in the world located on the island of Crete. It is estimated to be as over 3,000 years old and still produces olives.

That is such a strong, bold, confident statement and I respect you for it.
Wow...look at this morning here.(My camera) The fog is everywhere, and the atmosphere is beautiful and looks magical. I don't know if these fogs were natural or if they were caused by dust(unnatural) from outside.
