The sun was bright; the trees and the lawns glistened, refreshed by the July storm.

The forest scene is cast in appropriately muted hues of blue and green; trees, covered in shadowy cobwebs, glisten in the half-light.

The green trees glistened in the fading dew, and flowers opened.

The beach and the trees glistened in the horizontal rays.

And so autumn ground drearily on with dripping skies and the now-bare trees glistening wet and black in the rain.

The tree glistened with lights and fake snow and ornaments and tinsel.

Storm drains took the water away to a river which ran muddy and turgid past the Family orchards ... trees there with their barren branches glistening wetly.

The winding walkways that bent through the Common were shiny with rain, and the unleaved trees glistened blackly.

The reason some trees glisten and others do not, Dr. Fraser said, relates to the waxy surface of the leaves, which varies among species, as well as by season and location.
