European Black Pine in Sapporo, Japan
Creative Pension Payment: More Time to Appreciate Nature
Trees are badass. They provide shelter and shade for other living things. They’re beautiful and diverse. Artists and photographers love trees. I live in a community where trees are protected and I can see them from every window in my home. This is a collection of photos of trees that are special to me. That’s all.
I took this at Shikinomori Park in June.
Taken on Washington St. in Vicksburg, Ms. by Mark Winslet. I love this because it reminds me of historic down town, across the from Attic Gallery and Highway 61 Coffee Shop.
Deborah Platt snapped this of the Lone Cypress in Monterey, CA last week.
I took this in Sapporo this May.
ARTISTIC PENSION 
In Japan it’s become popular to go into a forest for a short amount of time to practice “forest bathing” – SHINRIN-KYOKU. They say it reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and lower blood glucose levels…I’m so glad I live in this town too – I can just sit out in my backyard to forest bathe
I like the trees too! Thank you for the photos.

Always loved the season of cherry blossoms in Japan. I would always take a trip to Komakura during this time of year.
