The Awakening of the Oak Prince

[pt_tangles]

This is my oak tree. You can't really tell from this picture, but he is all awakening from his winter slumber. I will get some close up pictures today (it was almost night time in this picture, and my camera doesn't really like the dark).

I have a couple more pictures that are super cute, but I have to put them behind a cut to save Droops' sanity.



Isn't he the cutest ever?? The next day that it is sunny, I am going to take more pictures of this faery garden. I absolutely love walking by it every day. Some days I leave a couple shiny copper pennies on the tallest mini standing stone.

That is all! Enjoy your day

You know it looks like that tree is holding up that plaque! lol

I want black squirrels, too, damnit!

I am honestly a little shocked. I figured that squirrels just came in black and grey and occasionally brown. I will have to see if the black ones really only are local ones.

I am so proud of my tree. He is so big now. I am gonna have to give him a bigger pot this year. I learned not too long ago that oaks have roots that are as long as the tree is tall, so I don't want him getting rootbound.

I think you just took a sharpie to those squirrels so you could feel special up there in Ole Canada! ~pout~

Squirrels are gray, brown and red around here. Maybe it is climate and/or diet that account for the colors? (I'm thinking climate.)

Well, you learn something new everyday. Turns out black squirrels are an eastern squirrel that someone brought to Stanley Park in 1914. Cool. We are specialler than the rest of the Westerners!
