There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
Woke up this morning to no internet. (Boo, Hiss Spectrum!) Problem lasted until 30 minutes ago. Your trees were one of the first posts I saw. Thank you.
Lady - I send money to the Arbor Day Foundation and they send me 10 trees. I could have my own forest if I wanted too.
Deb - I'd love to see that in person.
Shaw - I couldn't remember where I found that. I tried to look up what kind of tree it was. I found lots of copies of the same picture but none identified it.
Kathy - Did you stay in bed until the internet came back? What's the use of getting up with no internet! 😆
"What's the use of getting up with no internet!" Truth! Every project I thought about starting required access. I may need to undigitize a couple of things.
These are all terrific! (Of course it’s hard to go wrong with trees…) Especially like #1, looks like an enchanted fantasy world. Thursday Trees is a welcome weekly dose of pure pleasure. Thanks!
River - I thought #4 was in California. I just checked and found it's in India. Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks are located in Uttarakhand.

The cartoon about gardeners is spot on. I had to create an extension for my garden last summer and it's still not big enough.
ReplyDeleteYep whenever I go plant shopping, I have amnesia and immediately forget how large my garden is, imagining a vast space for new additions.
ReplyDelete3 glorious 3!

ReplyDeleteThese are all so gorgeous! #13! Wow!

ReplyDeleteSome really good ones this week, Mike. Not as easy as in previous weeks but I like 3 and 4.
ReplyDeleteBill - Maybe it's time for a roof garden.
ReplyDeleteLady - I send money to the Arbor Day Foundation and they send me 10 trees. I could have my own forest if I wanted too.

ReplyDeleteMatt - You snuck in while I was typing. I remember #4 being called a super bloom in California.
ReplyDeleteKathy - All the groups I help with are internet access help.

ReplyDeleteSome don't even look real.
ReplyDeleteAllen - Is that the view you wish you had from your cabin in the woods?
ReplyDeletePeg - You need to start planting trees that turn these colors in the fall.
The painted landscape in #4 is amazing, while that path/walk in #8 looks like one of the walks in our Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
ReplyDeleteRiver - I thought #4 was in California. I just checked and found it's in India. Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks are located in Uttarakhand.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! 1 and 3 really stand out for me.
ReplyDeleteMartha - You and Allen can build your cabins next to each other in #1.
