Road of Peas

This image shows up in a pictorial paeon to grass, a bulletin from Evy, which reads like it is in response to being teased about having allergies.

Don’t be moving to the southern Willamette Valley, because it is a one of the largest producers of grass seed in the world. I spent a few years commuting across the valley, and I can testify that the beauty of endlessly green fields is matched by the endlessly aggressive by products of growing them. This adventure led me to discover the joys of rinsing my sinuses daily.

Thanks Evy!

I love this tree. I’d never seen one until shortly before I became contractually connected with this individual. I was leaning into the center of the tree looking straight up when I took this picture. These trees branch very close to the ground, and produce quite a few serpentine vertical branches. I don’t have a good picture of it - you can see the most in the background of this picture of our maple tree, but it doesn’t give a good sense of the overall structure.

Big trees are very difficult to capture, and I find that when I manage a good one, like this picture of a douglas fir, the only people who appreciate the shot are other forestheads.

Our Digger Pine was posted on a page entitled Highly Sensitive Person as a birthday greeting to Dogen Digger by Melo.

Thanks Melo! and happy Birthday, Doegn Digger!
