Summer afternoon

It may be the end of August,

but we are digging in and holding on to summer.

Right on.

Nuts!

was walking along in union square park today

and came across this little fella

balanced (perfectly!) on one of the railing's posts

gnoshing on a nut

a good day to be a squirrel

The tree's story

A couple of trees in our park have been cut down.

I walked past the stump of this beautiful tree this afternoon.

(I loved that it was still so golden! So vibrant!)

And I loved that I was able to take a picture

and help to capture (and share) its story.

Its legacy.

Its history is in its rings.

Tree mushrooms

Tree mushrooms remind me of giant clams.

I don't know why, but they fascinate me.
