Come with me on a walk
On my morning walk today I found this offering in the middle of the path. They are hawthorn berries.
Very pretty I think.
The cows and calves were enjoying the quiet morning. I love that huge cottonwood tree in the background.
A few weeks ago when I was walking here, I heard a rustling rumbling sound coming from the forest and I thought "What is that noise? The cows shouldn't be in there. Sounds like a big animal, maybe an elk crashing through the woods?" Then this huge alder tree came falling down, right where I had been about to walk. I have never seen a tree spontaneously fall down with no wind or logger to help it. It is on the neighbor's property and they have been working on cutting it up for firewood. I like the way the red alder shows why it is named so. When a fresh tree is cut up it bleeds red.
This is a big old stump with new trees growing up out of it. I climbed it once and looked inside, it is hollow. If I ever have to hide from someone, I might run here and get in. You might be able to see how the cows have rubbed on that long snakey root piece and made it all shiny.
I love leaves. This heart shaped one is a cottonwood.
But I love my little Roscoe Bean even more. Who could resist this face?
Be well.

Thanks for the walk in the woods to observe and wonder.
Oh What a loving grin on Roscoe Bean! good to read you once more.
I always used to marvel when a tree crashed down, it was usually our birches, they were so fragile. But in front of me, never, good thing you were not walking there. Spirit saved you. Roscoe is a real heart melter for sure. xox
It was a wonderful and peaceful walk. Just what I needed after a hectic Thanksgiving weekend. So fitting that you end the tour with a great pooch pic. Love his little face too. Looks a lot like my Min Pin Harley.

Ah, trees. They're very old souls. Love that sweet little grey
bearded face!
What a lovely sharing this is. Although the self destructive tree is troublesome. Thanks for sharing that sweet little face too. xoxo Oma Linda
It's odd about that tree- it doesn't look like rot inside or anything. Who wouldn't love the lop-sided little smile on Roscoe's face??
