This tree touched a rainbow. Mostly, though, it touched rain.

This tree is the same as a few days ago. I have decided to see if it will survive if I plant it – it’s presumably a live tree, but I think it spent too long on a shelf in a store before it showed up at our house when our neighbors-down-the-road gifted to us on Christmas Eve. I’ve temporarily planted it in a planter in my greenhouse. It won’t be much warmer than outside – the greenhouse receives no direct sunlight this time of year – but it will at least be more sheltered. The white stuff is just cotton, apparently. It’s inert and should wash off over time.

This tree is wearing a discarded mask. Note that I did not place this mask here – I simply found it attached to this tree – a true sign of 2020 if ever there was one.

This tree was given to us by our neighbors-down-the-road last night, along with some cookies. Juli mailed us some stockings which we opened in the morning. That was the sum total of Christmas, here at Rockpit.
For dinner we cooked some salmon on the traeger (smoker grill), had baked potato and spinach.

This tree was outside my classroom window almost exactly 10 years ago, in December, 2010, in Hongnong Village, Yeonggwang County, Jeollanam Province, South Korea.
I made a chocolate cake, to celebrate the impending winter solstice.

This tree is infested with an alligator. Can you see the toy plastic alligator hidden in the branches?

This tree awaited the rain.
I made some borscht and wallowed in my laconicity.

This tree knew the clouds would move on.
I spent the morning repairing our water-intake system – the plastic sheeting in the creek-bed, uphill from the road, that serves as a catchment for our water, had been dislodged somehow. So I had to rearrange things. Meanwhile, I filled the cistern from the well – this is easy now that I’ve made an adapter for the hose in my greenhouse, that is sourced off the well. We’ve had not shortage of water from the sky, but if the catchment isn’t working, we still will end up with a shortage in our tank.

This tree is in town, left of the center in a view looking north from the Public Library parking lot. To the right is the fire department, to the left is city hall, there’s a utility pole and tree, and then the sea and some mountains in the distance.

This tree felt the fingers of the waning moon on her shoulders.

This tree seems a bit out of focus, to be frank. Who’s taking these pictures, anyway?

This tree saw yesterday’s sunrise and a brief clearing of the constant clouds.

This tree blends in among other trees on the northern California coast, near Trinidad. I took this picture in December, 1983. This is a digital scan of a print made from film – no digital cameras back then – I took the picture with a Pentax camera that Arthur had given to me.
