Just now noticing

[Akita Suggagaki]

Maybe this whole COVID thing got me to look into and appreciate nature more. It started by noticing flowers in grass. Some very tiny. Then Bonsai trees which led to any tree or shrub. And now lately evergreens. And I have been fascinated with the scientific names also which has helped develop my Latin.

I ordered a Giant Sequoia as well as tea seeds. I plan to keep the sequoia as a Bonsai and give the tea plants as gifts.

And now I notice the beauty of tree and bish trunks, especially bushes near chain link fences. They usually get trimmed but the main trunk does not and can get old. Wonderful shapes.

Down at the park by a creek there are Bald Cypresses I never really appreciated. They must be 150’ tall and are spectacular. Even weeds can be beautify, Pennycress, Queen Ann’s Lace, Storkbill, tiny bluet, etc.

God's creation is awesome, and I'm noticing and enjoying it more too!

I was raised in a hunting family so the outdoors have been a big part of my entire life. I moved my family out in the woods. In the mountains. We live in the pines at about 4500 feet elevation. We have deer, elk, bears, cats, badgers, porcupines, eagles, hawks, cranes, antelope etc. plus tons of beautiful mountain birds of all types. Massive old growth Ponderosa, volcanic rock pillars, beautiful vegetation of all types. I’m a country boy through and through. I have lived in the city and it sucked haha. I love the beauty of God’s creation.
