I took this photo quite some years ago, but it remains one of my favorites. The blur of sandpipers has always reminded me of music notes. I wonder if an orchestra could keep up with this movement.

Broccolini
I discovered this tasty tidbit much to my delight in the fall of 2022 on a drive up the coast to see family. It is a tender “baby” version of broccoli if you will. Several weeks ago I found some small starter plants at a local nursery who decided to come home with me and take up residence in the clay pot you see pictured below. I’m looking forward to a small harvest of broccolini in perhaps middle to late February.
Happy New Year.

Ancient trees
I took this photo in the “Avenue of the Giants” in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. I especially like the black and white aspect depicting these magnificent trees.

This is another image I converted to black & white. It was taken in one of America’s magnificent National Parks: Yosemite. Creation in all its grandeur. To give you a perspective on size: some of the boulders sitting on this massive rock slab were enormous, I would guess 10 – 15 feet in diameter.

This is another image converted to black & white. It brings out the beautiful lines carved out by time of this ancient weathered tree growing in the bristlecone pine forest.

I originally captured this image in color, but decided recently to print it in black and white as well, to see what it would look like. What do you think? Some of these weathered bristlecone pines are over 5000 years old, one of the oldest living things on earth — a marvel of Creation. I sure wouldn’t want to be the one to count the rings of the tree and lose count though…
