		<description>A quiet and lovely piece.  I contemplate each year the contrast between the stark, bleached, bare bones of winter trees; the baby-green emergence of tiny leaves and flowers in early springtime; followed by jewel-toned, full-flouncy drapery of mid-summer; and then the guady, last hurrah of fall.  But you have taken my observation to a new level.

I have always felt the mountains as my protectors.  And the trees are yours.</description>

		<description>Thanks, April--I can use your eyes to see the natural world. I would miss much.  I never stopped to think that the trees are blacker than the night sky.  I would never have thought of the trees as "protectors."  I wonder what makes you different from me...?</description>
