Sunday dawned misty and cool I got up before everyone else and read on the porch. I am thoroughly enjoying "Oak: The Frame of Civilization" by William Bryant Logan.

I was thrilled to see a Pileated Woodpecker working the bases of the trees less than 20 feet away. No camera, of course
but I was able to enjoy this moment for about 10 minutes.

An oak gall?
but I was able to enjoy this moment for about 10 minutes.
