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.

HMM- the macromondays' theme for today is "in a row". i have two possibilities-- these guys are just over 2 and a half inches when in a queue. and seasonal so i think this will be my choice-- although i loved the colorful cheeriness of the sequins.

My sister and I took a long walk through the woods yesterday - I saw where an old farm house had been - I took a lot of photos very interesting - have not gone through a lot of them - it was cloudy - really needed some of that natural light! - Burlington,NC

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.
An Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) searches for some food items stored in the rough bark of the trees at Cave Creek Ranch near Portal, Arizona, U.S.A.
This was on a trip we took on our first venture on a winter holiday into the United States with the focus on Arizona. It proved very successful with the wide variety of new bird species for me.

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. :-((

This is a better photography of the this species than the one I had previously posted. The previous post was Bird Species (# 44) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
