Your post came like a message in a bottle...so unexpected and so welcome. <br />"And it's hard to explain to someone how much joy this gives me,<br />And how much that joy suffices me." <br /><br />I'm in Tubac, AZ, took an afternoon walk along the Anza Trail this afternoon, and became entranced by the trailing sprays of dead cottonwood leaves...I've looked up all the authors you mentioned, none of which were familiar to me, so as always you've provided entree into new worlds. I hope you get to curl up and take a nap in the moss one day soon! And I look forward, along with all your friends and fans, to more such posts. Thank you.

I am remembering the "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" admonition to find ways to quiet the voice. <br />I have my geology- and botany-knowledge working against me! <br />No doubt your future entries will be helpful. <br />Our cable "Soundscapes" music channel slideshows beautiful photos - one of them is a tree like your old lady apple.
