Trees. Big, tall trees.
The mountains back at Utah cradle you in a way. You feel secure being surrounded by them. Like they're a comfort blanket.
The trees have the same effect to me. They're so tall and loom over you everywhere. You can never see very far without a wall of trees blocking the view. (Unless your driving on the Causeway or in New Orleans... that's a whole different ball game.) But I like it. It feels cozy.

There's a couple trees here that always catch my attention.
The first are Crepe Myrtle trees. They are literally everywhere. They don't have one solid trunk, but multiple skinny trunks. At the end of the branches shoot out these pink flowers that look like half of a lilac. Most of the ones I see are sparse like this one... and I don't love the look of them.
But if it was an older tree and more filled out, then you get this... Which is pretty cool.
The second are the giant Oak trees that just drip with moss. Really, I can't get enough of these trees! They are my absolute favorite.
I was driving around downtown Covington today initially to find the farmers market. What I found wasn't worth getting out of my car for, so I just kept driving through all these old small neighborhoods. I found the most amazing giant oak tree. Not even kidding you.
This giant amazing oak tree also happens to be growing right in the middle of the road. The photo looks like it's right in the center of the road like a round about, but it's not. It's on the edge right before the intersection.
Anyways, these trees are everywhere, especially on our drive to church. It's a good thing Scott drives so I can just look out my window. :)
One last picture. This is right by my apartment! (Ignore the yoga pose, sorry!) I love this area though!
