When Crow laughed
Counting the rings
Walking the beach with my brother, he fills my head with the wonders of the world. We search the beach for artifacts (well he does, I am too easily distracted by all the rocks and shells, the sound of the sea, the view of the mountains). He knows the best spots to find artifacts, and the best times to find them, what they are made from, how they were used. He knows the types of woods that have washed up on the shores, the names of all the birds I see (see my previous photo Best Intentions for how well I do at that!) Here, he studies a piece of an old Douglas Fir - counts the rings, and explains how you can tell many things from the depth between the rings. A little tree history all contained in this one piece. Always such a joy to spend time with him. Thanks big brother!
