Nature's Art: Trees
Take me to the trees.
"In laboratory research, visual exposure to settings with trees has produced significant recovery from stress within five minutes, as indicated by changes in blood pressure and muscle tension." ~ Dr. Roger S. Ulrich Texas A&M University.
Did you know researchers have discovered that even a few minutes in nature, especially in proximity with trees, is good for our physical and emotional health? Here's a way to get close to trees without leaving our warm houses (while we wait for spring). View the photos below. Perhaps these photos will encourage you to enjoy nature outside as well.
