There's a lone, huge cottonwood near the oak forest which I drive through when I go up to the horse ranch. I often stop at the turnout across from it and take a couple of photos. If I were to document one tree throughout the year, it would be this majestic cottonwood. Once in a while I'll spot a hawk in the bare trees next to it, but there weren't any hawks last weekend. Right now its color it at its peak. I can't wait to see it next week, when I have 9 days off!
Somebody asked why I awaken every morning at 4:00. Well, my body is used to it. And, I fall asleep each night by 8:00, so that's a good 8 hours' sleep! :-)
Now go out and enjoy your day!
That's going to be pretty when its' leaves change. We still have some hanger on leaves but a lot of the trees up here are just about bare.
ReplyDeleteYou must be excited - nine days off!
That tree has been around for a long time. It could probably tell us some interesting stories.
