Tree Time

Tree Time
Well the British of course have their tea time. The afternoon tea and accompanying pastries (finger sandwiches, dainty scones, etc.) are an essential ingredient of high class Brits :-)

Although some of us may not have the habit of 'afternoon tea' like the Brits, there's always something special about "Tree Time" - moments of quiet contemplation with Mother Nature. Trees are amazing... old or new, tall or wide, leafy or needles... there's a unique beauty to each one as the photos demonstrate.

Music
Both the Native American flute and the trombone share the spotlight on this tune. The accompaniment is primarily acoustic guitar, acoustic bass and frame drums but there's a bit of Rhodes electric piano added as well.
