Here on the island, many of our trees resemble those of Canada. We've also got a tropical side of the island, but I'll talk about that at another time. These wonderful paintings by Leanne Shapton from her book Native Trees of Canada depict the simplicity and lushness of our forests. She recently had a short piece in the New York Times Sunday Book Review in which she pairs her paintings with some favorite passages from her bookshelf that include trees--worth checking out. I just love the colors in her work. Now for a walk in the woods!
