A poem lovely as a tree...
Emily Dickinson
These lines came to mind as I was working under the big walnut tree that stands sentry by my gate. I'm not sure I would describe it as "lovely", which to me carries a sense of delicacy, of femininity. I rather see it as magnificent, a word which, to my mind, carries strength and majesty.
What do you think?

Magnificent, for sure! In winter at least... in spring maybe they are lovely rather than magnificent.
Marvellous, majestic and magnificent to name a few appropriate adjectives.
I love trees!! I was brilliant at climbing them when I was about 12.
Is that really there for you to look at each day?
