neverspent: Art of trees, icon by lj user anod (trees)
Every year I declare Shade Day. It's the first sunny day of spring on which I am walking outside, looking at the ground, and I suddenly realize that I'm walking in tree shade. Not from pine trees, not from bare tree trunks and twigs, but good solid broadleaf green treeshade. There is a certain quality to it, so you know when you see it that it's a kind of shade you haven't seen in four or five months.

It was a sycamore tree, by the way, but the sweet gums and hickories and black cherries are throwing goodly amounts of shade as well.
