the evergreen...



it comes in different varieties, pine tree is one of them which is most commonly used as the yule tree. maybe because here in this part of the world Christmas comes during winter time and it is only the evergreen who has not lost its leaves, so it is the tree of choice to celebrate the birth of Christ, i think so...yes, the tree for all seasons :)  it's green and it's ever that way come fall, winter, spring and summer, no change...i wish the little diamond like glitters dressing up this cute evergreen tree can be seen in this video but sadly not. i just put in a 12 hrs. night shift then and went to accompany JC for his environmental science nature field trip at kensington park and it is about noon when i recorded this video, a bit tired but was so amazed by these glitters...a very nice treat after a night of no sleep and it's 12 noon so i am just ready to dive in bed thinking that evergreens are the ultimate tree for they stay green whatever the season is...and hmn, there is a barbra streisand song too with that title... (^&*)...wonderful :) ...yup, there are watery diamond crystals that glitters after the rain and here is proof of it...

after the rain when the heavens cry the tears kept rolling as it lands on evergreens. the reflections will create some multitudes of dangling diamonds shining as the sun's rays come to dry them up and turn them into vapor like made of unseen gas. then it rises up to form as clouds who will hold and store another rain that will fall on us, or on evergreens as the cycle of life moves on and comes to pass. there should be one most powerful mind who is the source of all of these. God, the most powerful, the almighty made our world that is so filled with natural wonders that are priceless, awesome and grand. how lucky can we get sometimes...yes, this was one of my lucky days for i never noticed these sparkles again ever since...
