I love trees because they are an important commodity to the environment. They make life possible on this planet, along with other plants. I also love the trees' glorious display of colors in the fall.
I love trees because they have many different shades of green, so many that it's almost impossible to count. When I paint a picture of a tree I use many shades of green and many more shades of brown. My favorite thing about trees is that they always seem to have a glow around them.
 
I love trees because they always smell so fresh and clean. I like to go to the nursery because I love the smell of trees, it's so refreshing 1. It's a glass of cool water on a hot day, or a damp cloth on a hot forehead.
 
I love to plant trees. I love to dig through the soil to make a hole in which the tree will rest. I love to place the tree in the ground, making sure not to disturb the roots which will be the tree's support. I love to water the trees. I love to pour the water on the trees knowing that it will grow.
 
One of my favorite things about trees is that they are fun to climb. I started climbing trees when I was very little. My dad taught me how to climb, along with some useful tips. I especially like to climb my grandpa's apple tree. I love to wind through the branches, and climb to a board that has been placed there. Once up, I like to think and relax, or bring a book up with me. It is fun to let my imagination run away with me while munching 2 apples.
 
I love trees in the autumn when they display their beautiful colors. In the autumn time, splashes of red, yellow, orange, and green decorate the mountainside. The maples 3 go red, the oak and aspen go yellow while the evergreens 4 maintain their beautiful shade of green.
 
Trees make life possible because they use the carbon dioxide and release oxygen which makes it so that we can breathe. If we exterminate 5 trees, the effects could be fatal. There may be global warming, lack of oxygen, and we would definitely not have any lumber 6 or paper.
 
Trees are very important to the environment. The beauty of trees makes me feel peaceful, and inspires me to make the best of myself.
