Oak tree at dusk

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

A few days ago I was out hiking late in the afternoon. Heading back to my car as the sun was going down, I passed this bare oak tree. When I looked up, I was struck by the silhouette of its crooked branches against the darkening sky.

Funny how a casual glance up on the way home, can turn into the best sight of the afternoon.

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Almost all of the leaves are down from the trees in my yard. That’s always kind of a depressing moment for me. With the leaves down, that means the hours of daylight are getting less and less everyday.

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

While hiking at a local park last weekend, I came across all kinds of milkweed plants. Most were spreading their seeds before the winter sets in.
