You know us and trees: always something a-brewing.
This time, it fell in a harmless direction, structure-wise. This pine was planted by my mother’s great uncle, I always heard, probably soon after the place came into the family about a century ago.
Not only is there the split at the base, but there are splits all the way up both sides. Still, this part that came down (in a storm with a bunch of other downed trees around the place) was the size of a full tree all by itself.
We brushed out the top (still need to get that stuff to a brush pile and out of the field), and will tackle this section later. Thanks very much to our multi-skilled neighbor for the chainsaw work with his Husquie; we couldn’t have done it withoutcha!

I took this out the car window a couple of hours ago when it was rainier than it now is. A light fogginess added to the mystery and suspense that I imagined permeated the air I was zooming through.

Loving the autumn reds.
The landscaping species, like this Euonymus alatus, native to eastern Asia, seem to be the brightest right now.

Last night was drizzle and a music-festival soundtrack drifting over the nighttime-neighborhood.
Today was…cool, sunny, and the evening smells like dog-dung.
At least, that’s the odor a few steps from this gardenia.

I went out to take this picture a few minutes ago, and whoooohooo, it’s cool out! Not merely not-hot, but cool! And pleasant. Is it still August????

ABG last Sunday.
This was one of those days that I did a little of this and a little of that, ending up feeling meh about the whole day. I think it wasn’t that grim, however….

Seems like I had about seven ideas for what to write about today, and, pfft, I have not a one of them at this moment.

I don’t remember ever seeing a bloom quite like this before.

Apologies; I didn’t even look for a name-tag so this is mystery-orchid.
I’m having a hard time getting these large and stunning orchids out of my head. They look like giant insects or strange birds to me.

Sometimes if you look at a plant from the right angle, and take away the context, you may struggle to figure out what you are seeing.
