This isn’t the greatest photo, but it’s the best I have. Two years ago, A happened to look out the window of his office at the exact moment half a hackberry tree split and fell. Yesterday, we had a giant blow of a storm. A was standing in the kitchen looking out the window just in time to see the other half of the hackberry go over. Kind of amazing! Also amazing was that no buildings, garden, fence or other tree was damaged.
Many questions spring to mind. Why is it fake wood? Where do you put it during the Christmas season? Where do you store it the rest of the year? What is it for? Whose idea was it? What do the people in the Chinese factory think when they're filling the plastic molds to make these?
Sunset last night. After the fog, after 100% humidity without rain, after complete darkness with dramatic lightening, the sun set and cast this red-orange glow across the sky. An exciting natural evening. Those spots are rain drops on the camera lens.
Warm, humid air produced this eerie image. At first I thought it was a dust cloud, but it was, in fact, fog. It just floated up the hill. As I watched, it surrounded my deck and moved on to the south. Weird weather.
We bought a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and put it on the kitchen table. Louie saw our reflections in the lonely red bulb and I knew I had to post this.
A snowy interruption to the moss posts. The green grass against the snow takes me in and out of seasonal focus. That's the back side of Future Man, the sculpture by Andrew Hadle, a KU art student. Future Man stands watchful over the valley and never complains. Crazy Nature, huh?
Earlier this week Edzo found a purple balloon in the woods. Puzzling. Then a couple of days ago we found this on our dog walking path. The mystery is solved. I think this is a pretty odd form of outreach.
