How do I love thee, old tree? Let me count the ways; you change carbon dioxide into the oxygen we breathe, you sequester carbon, and you provide shelter for countless critters. There are many reasons for which we should all be tree-hugging hippies, but within the scope of this article, all we’ll focus on are the looks of these amazing pretty trees.
Granted, not all of these amazing, beautiful trees are trees (the Wisteria is a vine, Rhododendrons are shrubs, and bamboo technically belongs to the grass family), but we’ll give them a pass because they are amazing, huge and beautiful. So once you step outside and take a breath of fresh air, absorb the beauty of nature, and hug the nearest amazing tree and say thank you!
Scroll through our stunning picture list of these cool trees, that are also a vital part of our beautiful nature and, essentially, us.

You are absolutely right WilliamKelley! Clearly JohnDoe et al have not read Darwin's Black Box on irreducibly complex system design, etc.
Load More Replies...Nature is fascinating- things are so random. No one designed these beauties, on one created them, they are simply the marvels of nature.
Beautiful! Made my day! We see so much negative c**p these days that it's so wonderful to see how beautiful our world is and save it!
God created absolutely marvelous nature. Humans have achieved mastery in destroying it.
I can't help but turn everything into an argument on whether or not God exists.
Load More Replies...I wish I could have a chance to walk through these astonishing beauties. Does anyone agree?
I wish I could behold such beauty where I live in Los Angeles, but we don't have beautiful pieces of art out here
Flamboyant Tree is much more famous in india you can see these trees every where in india.
wonder why there are no jacaranda trees there? downloadja...f59f6b.jpg
I can't believe that they would even consider using the rainbow eucalyptus tree of Hawaii for pulp paper! Or any tree, for that matter, when there are so many sustainable sources for paper everywhere. What about hemp?
Wow, a page showcasing pretty trees and instantly you get a bunch of creationists into the comment section?

I love that God loves us so much he created these beautiful species and allowed them to evolve in their own sphere to become a truly stunning collection. It's not either/or, it's both.
NOBODY BUT GOD COULD CREATE TREES LIKE THESE. HE IS THE GREAT PAINTER AND CREATOR OF NATURE IN THIS WORLD. BE IT TREES, ANIMALS OR US HUMAN BEINGS, WE ARE HIS CREATURES, HIS ULTIMATE CREATION.
And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself after his kind : and God saw that it was good
Very very beautiful very attractive site, keep it up the best job thank you for sharing with us https://www.furnitureshifting.co/2018/10/9-best-cheap-movers-company-low-price.html
We can see a reflection of God in these beautiful trees .Thankyou for this picture of yourself.
I am blessed by a favourite beech and a favourite oak I will climb the hill to sit on the roots of the oak tomorrow. It is perhaps 400 years old ...( the age of the rings on the stimp of a neighbour oak that fell in a storm), It would take four of us with our arms out to surround this treasure.
That bright orange 'Flamboyant Tree, Brazil' is actually a Rattle Box Tree .. and we have several in our garden here in Portugal! It is beautiful and covered in flowers all summer !
