Many people through ages upon ages have been fantasizing and investigating the concept of inmortality. Being alive forever, rejecting the need to choose. Maybe is one of those senseless and contradictory races of the society, judging by how the ephemeral values in life like youth and beauty have always been considered.
And there I was, seated in the back seat of the faded red car with those pudgy cheeks resting on the cold window pane. Absent eyes traveling as fast as us, wondering where were we. Waiting for the time to stop, explore and share. Waiting for their resting time. Anyone's fault. Just different clock hands.
These months are being the ideal for discovering the locations of a land that always was there for us and is still unknown. This time, walking by the side of a copper-haired wolf and seated in the front seats of a cosy and white time ship.
Listening: Old pine, Ben Howard.
Grotesque: Comically or repulsively ugly and distorted. Incongruous or inappropriate to a shocking degree. A very ugly or comically distorted figure or image.*
Beauty: A combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight. A combination of qualities that pleases the intellect.*
Regarding the visible nicks and dings: I understand this sign rings like a bell when a large rock is lobbed onto it. Whether this ringing is warning, calling, or knell, I could not say. I suspect the latter.

Western Yellow-pine (Pinaceae) - image by Tony Mundell.
The genus Pinus (Pines) has leaves (needles) which have shoots with bunches of 2, 3, or 5 leaves, each bunch enclosed in a sheath of papery bracts. The number of needles helps identification, but occasionally there are bunches with a nonstandard number of leaves, so several shoots need to be examined. Cones are mostly more or less egg-shaped (ovoid) with hard, woody scales.
The leaves P. ponderosa are in bunches of 3, 12-22cm long, stout and dull green; bark fissures into large rectangular plates in mature trees; cones, 10-15cm, have sharp points on the scales and the base of the cone stays on the tree, when it falls.

E. Bhutan and neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh, India, as well as neighbouring China (SE Xizang: Tangmai region, NW Yunnan). Its distribution is still not well known. Data from labeled herbarium specimens indicate that it occurs at elevations of 720 to 2.750 m in mixed pine forest, mixed oak-pine forest, mixed broadleaved forest, and secondary forests.

This species is a regular visitor. It likely wants to bathe or feed, and is checking out the surroundings before proceeding lower. These birds are usually spotted in large flocks; they swarm over my thistle feeder in a tumbling mass, and usually perch close enough to permit great photo ops, sometimes even landing on my camera or hat while I'm trying for a close shot. They are plentiful during high summer and typically ignore my presence. The sexes appear different, but the differences are subtle... the male's coloring is typically with more intense contrast, especially with yellow highlights. I believe this one to be an adult bird and most likely female.

Koivumäen honka. This tree started growing in 1620. So it will achieve the respectable age of 400 years in the same year when I'll retire.
"Toista peninkulmaa Kuopiosta itään päin Riistavedellä Koivumäellä on petäjä, jonka pituus on 17 syltä ja paksuus juuresta yhden metrin. Kauas näkyy, peninkulmien päähän, tuo korkealla mäellä pienten vesojen keskellä seisova korven kuningas...Kun honka on luonnonihanan seudun ympäröimä, niin sopisi matkailijan, joka tahtoisi tutustua vielä esi-isiemme suuruuksiin, pistäytyä hongan juurella panemassa tupakka.” Näin kirjoitti jo 6.5.1901 Uusi Savo lehti.
