Too Soon
It’s too soon, I said
Looking up to the clear, dry sky
The rain will come, eventually
It won’t be enough, you said
Dark brown edging ever inward
It’s too late
Do Overs
Even with my camera that is a lot smarter than I am, I sometimes often take bad, fuzzy photos. Many situations are not repeatable (I was out of town, for example) and the chance for a good photograph is lost forever. Every once in a while, however, I have the opportunity to return to a site to retake a photograph. Here are two that came out blurry the first time; I’m much happier with my second effort.
Monday Up Close
Acorns
Our poor, little trees. We’ve been in a drought for many years and their growth has been sporadic at best. We did have a wet spring and that was a good start to the year. Our Pin Oak tree in the back managed to keep a few acorns through the dry, hot summer. The break in the heat should come soon. We hope. (Don’t know about the break in the drought.) In the meantime, here is an acorn that made it through. You can see the leaves starting to turn way before autumn has arrived.

Half Bark, Half Bare
I don’t know what causes this type of bark arrangement. Looks a bit bare, though.

It's a long story ...
