Trees

"It is the marriage of the soul with Nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination." - Thoreau
Nature often provides a poetic stimulation that can feed the soul and inspire us to greatness. In the course of interviewing one respondent, a more literal connection of nature to his scientific work was revealed which I found especially moving:
“the trees (woodlands) are a source of inspiration in my study because the branching helps me visualize neurons.” The window acts as a “microscope in the office” providing a view of “enlarged neurons”.

Trees are much more inspirational
than a brick wall. Everyone who has
visited me has commented on the
trees. We should do what we can to
protect them as we expand.
I agree Ernie...I view the whole of the woodlands as something very special (and to be preserved). Even the trees in the winter can be spectacular against the snow.
