Entry from: Jejusi, Korea Rep. Entry Title: "Jeju Island" Entry: "I was very fortunate to be able to attend the 2009 junior field trip to Jeju Island. It began with a very early departure of 6am for Gimpo airport. (Gimpo handles most of the local flights, and Incheon handles the international flights.) The students looked so different to me since they were not in their school uniforms and they were allowed to wear make-up and jewelry. For some of them this was their first time flying, so it was a lot of fun seeing the excitement on their faces, and I was asked to take pictures of more mundane things (to me), like the tarmac. Upon arrival, we took a small break so that the teachers could eat breakfast. Then we were whisked off to a round of tours beginning with a botanical garden. I'm not a big fan of these, but this one was very enjoyable. There were many different plants I haven't seen before, a beautiful bonsai garden, and very interesting lava tunnels. (Jeju Island is an ancient volcanic island.) Sorry, but I couldn't get pictures of the lava tunnels. It was too dark and my flash on my camera just wasn't enough to brighten it up for anything to be seen. What I really liked about Jeju Island was the rock formations on one of the coasts.

Tree Tattoo

!±8± Tree Tattoo

Among the artistic involvement that we find ourselves in, as we look for beauty, are the tattoos. They refer to the permanent designs patterns that are inscribed on one's body for beautification purposes. In most cases the designs are symbolic and the person bearing them attaches a particular meaning to them.

Tree tattoos are not a new phenomenon and they carry with them the theme of new life after a season of barrenness and desolation. In life events, the design could be symbolic of rejuvenation after periods of being discouraged and beaten by life. Whenever you look at it, it will remind you that good things are yet to come.

In different cultures, the tree has varied importance. In Asia for example, the tree tattoo would signify one's personal desire for actualization and achievement. In Scandinavia, it is a representation of the center of both the visible and invisible worlds. According to the Celtic beliefs, it shows the connection between the humans and the plants.

However, just like some earrings or necklaces have no symbolic attachment to the owners, a tree tattoo is sometimes made just for the sake of its beauty or for its aesthetic value. It becomes a design that is just picked on by chance, just like you would pick on a star or anything else on the face of the universe. If you look through the Internet, you are bound to learn more about these artistic designs and you will be able make an informed choice when going for one.

When looking at cherry trees, you will notice that there are a good many versions of the weeping cherry trees that are available to be planted. This article will cover several different weeping cherry trees and what they need to survive.

There are many different varieties of these weeping trees, so let's get started! Our first cherry tree is the weeping Higan tree. This tree produces white to pink flowers and needs full sun and well drained soil. This tree grows to 20-30 feet in height. Our next weeping trees of note is the Purple Leaf Sand Cherry. This tree has a moderate growth rate and needs well drained soil and full sun. It grows about 7 - 14 feet with beautiful pink blossoms.

Pendula Plena Rosa is our next cherry trees of note. It matures at 30-40 feet and is very adaptable to many differing soils and full sunlight. It carries beautiful pink blooms and is fragrant and showy. There are also several dwarf weeping cherry trees of note. One is The Snow Fountain cherry trees variety. This is a bonsai tree that is for indoor usage only. It needs full sun and the temperature varies with the variety. Frequent watering is desired and bonsai fertilizer is also used. Yet another dwarf cherry trees of note is the Kiku-Shidare-Zakura. This tree has deep pink flowers and is about 4 meters tall. Prefers full or partial sun and is a hardy species. Another tree is the Shidare Yoshino with full sun, 20 foot height and needs well drained soils in order to thrive.

Another good tree variety is Kwanzan. It grows 15'-25'. Its white to pink blooms will be most impressive when the tree is grown in full sun with good drainage. Here is another one for you: Pendula Plena Rosa or Double weeping cherry. It grows to 25 feet and has double pink blossoms. Prefers well cultivated soil and full sun, and is a beautiful tree to grow. One of our last contenders is Autumnalis. This hardy tree does well in full sun and well cultivated soil and has semi double flowers of white. This is a real show stopper. When dealing with these weeping trees, it is best to remember that they do well in full sun and most of them require well aerated soil.

There are four main varieties of weeping cherry trees and those are Higan, Zakura, Autumnalis and Snow Fountain. There are also many different variations thereof and these beautiful trees are wonderful trees to plant in yards and gardens due to their eye catching color and weeping form.
