Cottonwoods with Texture
Early morning, the second day of travel on our June trip in 2007. The cattle in the field next to the campground woke us early – before anyone else was up – but later than we had expected to rise. We were both eager to get the day started and got ourselves together and then out to walk the dogs. I grabbed the camera as I had seen this path through the cottonwoods the night before, a two track road they used to haul in hay to the cattle, that took you down to and along side the river. The air was heavy with moisture, the fog that kept us asleep longer was lifting. So calm and peaceful, the morning walk with the dogs both relaxed and invigorated us. This photo captures that for me, and with a texture or two added, brings back the feel of that morning.

The only year in recent memory that the ground hasn’t been littered with all these Pine Cone “Cobs” was the one we had the Red Crossbills here. The squirrels have to rip the cones apart to get to the nuts.

Frost appeared overnight, allowing me to capture the same cone I photographed (or at least I’m pretty sure it’s the same cone – if not, this is the one on the neighboring branch) last spring as a bloom and in summer.

I remember my amazement the first time I saw these blossoms – trees in bloom with bright pink tips to the branches. Now I just smile knowing it’s a part of spring around here. Each bloom magically turns into a pine cone over the summer.
