I love trees and feel much about them as you do - I'm thinking of getting a yew branch tattoo, for several reasons but mostly because I really love trees. Even when one fell on the house. 😭 We lost one here on the main road in that awful storm last year, and I have been faintly sad every time I walk past it since then. The council have put another tree where it was, as well they might, and I see it and think: you are pretty, but you won't grow to the same size in my lifetime. It's a weirdly existential thought to have every day on your way out the house.
