Through the Trees

Merrill Hall at Asilomar watercolor

Walking around Asilomar in Pacific Grove, I stopped to take in the beauty. I loved painting this in watercolor, capturing a wonderful day.

I went for a last bike ride in Cumbria yesterday, before the long haul home to the South West. My new, electric bike is just magic up those big hills.

Une photo de vendredi pour ce #Photomonday (c'est mon côté "esprit de contrariété" qui s'exprime) avec un magnolia flanqué d'un forsythia, deux beautés assez éphémères.

Magnolia and Forsythia are two ephemere beauties. A photo taken last Friday for this #PhotoMonday (Note my "spirit of annoyance" expressing itself here ).

Icy catkins. They are last year’s growth.

Kurashiki Bikan historical quarter is a really cool place—a tourist trap that I didn't mind falling into. It has some very striking scenes in just a few blocks, like these trees and umbrella light displays—really lovely after dark, too

A council of crows convened on the tree in the neighbor's yard.
From the remaining branches of a tree, they had a lively discussion
A contractor had pruned many of the majestic branches
and left these branches of the tree in a pile

A crow spoke up, declaring what has happened here was no accident
The other crows continued to echo this call for action
This tree has weathered great storms of our many generations
This tree has protected and provided us with many fruits
The branches removed can never been replaced

In these uncertain times
What happened to this tree shall be remembered
A garrison of mosquitoes has been activated
And some are already on patrol
We must remain vigilant and protect those who have protected us

Horse chesnut leaves unfurling. They are deeply ribbed and droop at this stage. The sticky toffee leaf bud is seen peeled back.
