Welcome to the BEST of Unframed-Nature 2014!
This is our 5th Annual "BEST OF" EVENT!
We started these in 2010! I just can't believe it's already our 5th one!
Thank you VERY much to my fellow Administrators who voted on what the MEMBERS, themselves, [and Admins.] voted on, for each TWO months of the year of 2014, from our FOUR MAIN Folders for our "Top Submissions..." event that we hold every OTHER month. 
Members are always welcome to vote, unless due to special circumstances, when we have Admins., only to vote.
But usually it is open to All Members, because it is the group's group!
I truly thank the Admins. who helped me with THIS project, for without their fabulously generous help with this Annual Event- a great way to tie up a super year with our Group- this would not be possible, let alone the success that it has turned out to be.
They took the time and effort with voting from the SIX (6) double-monthly articles, and I have simply put together the results!
A true TEAM Effort!
But, indeed, it began with ALL Members AND all Admins. who voted to begin with, in each of every TWO months,and therefore,
I thank ALL of YOU who have participated in any and all of last year's months, by committing your time and efforts to all the monthly voting during 2014!
If you are featured here at all, it is amazing, considering how HUGE and active our group is, with SO MANY VERY TALENTED MEMBERS, and with how many submissions we received last year!
Believe it or not, this a tiny amount of art presented here, considering the TOTAL amount of stunning artwork we received in total!
So......
CONGRATULATIONS TO EACH ONE OF YOU! Without further ado, we present to you...

The Wolf SongThis song is dedicated to all the Wolves,
who had fallen for the pack,
who had died to save us.
Gods bless your bravery.
We will never forget...
Glorious descendants of wildness,
Left hearts full of loneliness.
For the freedom’s sake you have fallen,
They‘ve left your dreams forever broken!
You died to save us, your sacrifice…
It’s the greatest heroism in our eyes!
So brave kids of wildness,
Left hearts full of sadness.
We’ll remember, we’ll never forget… never!
Knowing killing you was the worse crime ever,
We’ll keep the memories of you with honour,
Swearing they won’t kill our kind anymore!
Glorious descendants of wildness,
Our hearts full of loneliness.
So brave kids of wildness,
Our hearts full of sadness.
You’ve given us the might for now and ever.
The power to don’t let them win – never!
We all solemnly swear, that we’ll fight…
‘til the very end of this dying night!
You’ve given
The Tree's PrayerDear Lord,
Don't let the rain wash away the dirt from my roots,
For without it I would have no place to stand
Dear Lord,
Don't let the sun shrivel my roots
For without them I would have nothing with which to stand on.
Dear Lord,
Don't let the axe cleave my trunk
For without it I would not have the will to stand.
Dear Lord,
Don't let the knife sever my branches
For without them my will to stand would break.
But please Lord,
Don't let them burn my leaves
For without them I could not stand at all.

WhalesWhales
These gentle giants roam the waters,
Not expecting anything.
There is a sharp metal object,
Coming their way.
They don't know what's going on,
But they can feel the pain.
These innocent creatures,
Are pulled up by chains.
The others have finally figure out,
Whats going on around them.
A whaling harpoon has hit them.
A massive violent gun.
As each whale is pulled aboard,
They become weaker and weaker,
In their terrible state.
The last thing they see,
Is the satisfied look,
In the fisherman's eyes.
