Keith - there was a barn behind me and to the left, but I preferred this colourful stump and mushroom in a field of ferns with thin rays of light breaking through the other trees. And yes, there were blackflies.
After a fire, the blackened trees still stand. Eventually they fall and a new forest grows. I know fire is a natural part of the forest cycle but I don't like the aftermath.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
"Sunrise among the Bluebells." Poland Ohio. In mid to late April, this old growth forest becomes completely carpeted with Virginia Bluebells for a few weeks. They start just a few feet from the small parking lot right in town. I spent most of the day exploring this peaceful place.
It's a little hard to survive in Death Valley. These trees lost the battle
on the edge of Mesquite Dunes.

There is only one place in Victoria that I know of where you where can walk right into the canola fields and immerse yourself in the glorious and bright golden yellow flowers, and that is at the 'Cornella Canola Walk'. In conjunction with the Shiraz Republic Winery and Cornella Brewery just outside of Heathcote in country Victoria, a canola walk has established complete with a viewing platform and walking track through the flowering yellow crop. And this is where I went on Saturday.
Amongst the vast fields of canola, there stood one single tree with wonderfully twisted branches. Known as the Piano Tree, this tree reminded me of the windswept trees inhabited by witches and faeries drawn by one of my favourite illustrators from the Golden Age of Children's Illustration, Arthur Rackham as it basked alone in a pool of late afternoon sun.
Now in its third year, the 'Cornella Canola Walk' is a wonderfully immersive experience that is full of colour! It was a wonderful way to spend the last day of winter this year, surrounded by a seemingly endless field of golden yellow flowers beneath the blue sky!

A view of the MT Timpanogos mountain range beyond Utah Lake from a remote wilderness mountain ridge (elevation 7,318). The trail leading up to this spot was one of the most challenging that I have driven. I was told that quads had problems at times... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see a truck up there.

As we await another disappointing snowfall during a drought winter in southwest Colorado, I thought I might share this image, taken a couple of years ago at Dead Horse State Park in Moab, Utah.
I love the red-rock region, otherwise known as the Colorado Plateau. It is a major reason I moved to my current home. Moab is a mere 2-hour drive from here. In fact, if you zoom in on the right horizon, you can see just the snowcapped 13,232' peak of Hesperus Mountain which is a mere 18 miles northeast of my home.
During this visit to Moab, the region had just experienced a 6" snowfall, leaving the La Sal mountains nicely capped, and a little on the north facing edges of the Shafer Canyon, and rim of Dead Horse Point. The decaying juniper speaks to the normally arid climate, and the faint trace of rabbit tracks shows that despite this being a harsh desert environment, there exists a presence of wildlife throughout.
This weekend in 2026, the southern United States is bracing for a severe storm, while we in Colorado are praying for feet upon feet of snow to alleviate our drought, before our junipers look like this one.
Congrats on Explore!
We managed to snag a spot in the 17 miles road tour of the valley. We were in line to get in by 7:15 AM and felt lucky to get admitted with the first batch of vehicles. The women who were managing the gate were allowing only 20 cars in at a time, then one had to wait until someone completed the loop and returned. They were quite severe in informing us we could not take more than two hours to complete the trip, so we didn't linger long anywhere.

Lumberjack removing a dead pine tree from my neighbors yard. I think it was killed by southern pine beetles. They've had to have several dead pine trees removed because the beetles destroyed them.

Amongst the vast fields of canola, there stood one single tree with wonderfully twisted branches. This tree is known as the Piano Tree, because beneath its twisted branches at its base stands an old Victorian upright piano. Made by K. Schmidt Piano Manufacturers in Berlin, the upright piano is made of walnut and has beautiful panels inlaid with brass. Although out of tune, the piano can still be played. The Piano Tree reminded me of the windswept trees inhabited by witches and faeries drawn by one of my favourite illustrators from the Golden Age of Children's Illustration, Arthur Rackham as it basked alone in a pool of late afternoon sun.

I just loved the twisted remains of these trees on the Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley. There is nothing quite as peaceful as the dunes at dawn after a windy night.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
Suwannee, FL
Taken the day before tropical storm Colin hit - the water was already beginning to whitecap. Our intention was to go red snapper fishing 15 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. We got about 7 1/2 mi out and had to turn back because of high seas and threatening rain. Aborted trip and came back to GA.
