The beauty of nature is sometimes taken for granted. I have always felt so close to nature around birch trees that make its own music on windy days with its clapping leaves. Its growth is magnetic and solid with its thick bark that glitters in the moonlight, almost flourescent.
It's a very sappy tree that gives such a wonderful aroma scent in the flickering fireplace on moonlight nights.
