Consider the life of trees. Aside from the axe, what trees acquire from man is inconsiderable. What man may acquire from trees is immeasurable. From their mute forms there flows a poise, in silence; a lovely sound and motion in response to wind. What peace comes to those aware of the voice and bearing of trees! Trees do not scream for attention. A tree, a rock, has no pretence, only a real growth out of itself, in close communion with the universal spirit. A tree retains a deep serenity. It establishes in the earth not only its root system, but also those roots of its beauty and its unknown consciousness. Sometimes one may sense a glisten of that consciousness, and with such perspective, feel that man is not necessarily the highest form of life. Cedric Wright |

 | | Oak Tree, 1845 (salt print from paper negative) by William Henry Talbot Talbot invented and patented the first negative process, called calotype. Since there is no known earlier daguerreotype of a single tree, this print may be the first photograph of nature's most noble plant. |
