The process of germination and growth of acorns offers profound insights into the very essence of life itself. From a tiny seed, a great tree may arise, representing the awe-inspiring potential for growth and transformation inherent in all living beings. The sprouting of the acorn into a seedling also highlights the delicate balance of environmental factors necessary for life to flourish, such as water, soil, and sunlight. Moreover, the process of growth can be seen as a reflection of the cyclical nature of existence, as the seedling transforms into a mature tree, which in turn produces its own acorns, perpetuating the cycle of life. Overall, the germination and growth of acorns offer a powerful reminder of the beauty and complexity of life and the interconnectedness of all things.

I am revisiting this photo because I was asked permission to use it. So I reprocessed it and it brought back wonderful memories when we could travel. Taken in Belize, Central America.

I stopped by Dawson Creek in hopes of catching some Acorn woodpeckers, and was richly rewarded!

I sort of fell in love with these Acorn Woodpeckers on our trip to Costa Rica. Not only did we have a fabulous guide, but we saw so many beautiful birds. Taken in San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica.

 

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

I picked these at a new park I explored. After i left them on my picnic table on the deck, I heard a little noise out there afterwards. Guess what? One squirrel already came for the feast. How could it possibly sense that?? They've got to have a very sharp sense or eyesight, huh?

 

This year, the acorn oak trees around me don't do too well, I've hardly seen acorns on them. However, my small version of acorn oak tree in my backyard bear tons of fruits, dropped everywhere. Sorry for my landscaper that it's a little hard for them to cut the lawn. :-((

To English folk the mighty oak

Is England's noblest tree;

Its hard-grained wood is strong and good

As English hearts can be.

And would you know how oak-trees grow.....

The robot tagger came up with outdoor and people. I should have left the "people" tag on it. They do look like little clowns.

 

"I'm an acorn, small and round

Lying on the cold, cold ground

Everyone walks over me

That is why I'm cracked you see."
