Calling All Folks Who Can't See The Trees Because of the Forest

Some of you may know that I grew up in family of foresters. My grandaddy, George W. Peake, Sr., started Georgia Timberlands, Inc, and my daddy carried on the business until the early 90s. Trees were always a part of my life - the cathedral of pines that welcomed me, the might oak that housed our childhood treehouse, the dogwood that I climbed to escape the chores awaiting me, the giant sycamore that now welcomes my every guest and serves as backdrop for countless family photos.
So I am happy to promote the new book, Seeing Trees, a book that takes you to a new level of appreciation of the giant guardians of our landscapes. Click here http://www.timberpress.com/seeingtrees?s=seeing&a=3 or on the picture above to submit your email address for a chance to win this book by Sept. 9, 2011.

From Timber Press:

"Everyone knows what a tree looks like. But have you ever really seen the delicate flowers of a red maple? The emerging leaves of a tulip poplar? When you look at a tree up close, a whole new world of form and beauty emerges, and you begin to appreciate trees in a whole new way. Through its delightful writing and dazzling photographs, Seeing Trees reveals the amazing lives of these familiar yet imperfectly understood denizens of our shared environment.
