Shade

This avenue of beautiful trees provided some welcome shade as I walked home on a sunny afternoon:
The trees were planted in August 1919, one for each soldier from this suburb who was killed in WWI. Each was planted by a relative or friend of the soldier. Nearly 100 years later we can enjoy the results of that act of hope for the future.

Planting trees is always a win win situation. We are so lucky to have these beautiful avenues of trees.
