There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

I like all the autumn tones here today and that last tree looks very climbable.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about climbing the last tree. You may need some ropes to help.
DeleteI'm voting #3 today.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an alien.
DeleteI can't tell from the angle if the owners of #6 incorporated the tree into their front walkway, but if they didn't they missed out.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell either. And I wondered if it was AI generated. I checked Google image and it couldn't find it.
Delete#10 and #16 are my faves today!
ReplyDeleteI thought #10 was cool looking.
DeleteI find it truly amazing that even pictures of trees can bring feelings of peace and calm.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to Thursdays for your tree pics.
Thanks for your submissions.
Delete#6 That tree has bell bottoms!
ReplyDeleteAI or not AI. That is the question.
DeleteAs a wildlife biologist living in the North Maine Woods I think Thursday Trees is my favorite blog post!!
ReplyDeleteLots of posts to look at in the past. I try not to duplicate but it doesn't always work.
DeleteWow! What a boatload of trees! Very enjoyable. You got a whole Forest here. I got to send you some aloha
ReplyDeleteYou need to hike into the forest and get some non-palm trees.
DeleteSo many fabulous trees! You've outdone yourself, and that's a high bar to beat. #2 blows me away! And so many thanks for trees and jokes so often.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should start from the bottom and post 20 dead tree.
