roots & rocks

A portal.

Sights from a long-over due walk . . .

The Tree of Persistence.

Persistence a little closer.

And again from the other side.

This tree's roots look like an elephant.

And a little closer, my dear.

These roots reach into a Vernal Pool.

A pool that never lost its green even when iced over.

Some people have house Brownies.
I get the occasional visit from our
House Rooster named Brownie.
