This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- Two second-hand copies of The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin, covering the years 1858–1860, published by Cambridge University Press.
- A new copy of The Catskill Fossil Forest, published by Gilboa Historical Society Press. A local curiosity for sure, but a fascinating little booklet about the discovery of petrified trees from the Devonian.

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

Towards the back, standing up, are two volumes of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, showing moss-green hardbacks with black lettering on them. These are volumes 7 and 8.

Toward the front, lying down, The Catskill Fossil Forest, showing a thin paperback with a rather abstract colour painting of primitive trees. Several black trunks rise skyward against a background of pinks, oranges, blues, and greens.

It was almost a competition, each sapling reaching for the sunlight so that it could grow, and grow big. In not many years, the small copse of trees would become a little forest of its own.

Droughts, heat and floods could make this a non-starter but that's not really a reason not to try.

Mind you, as an Oregon tree planter, I knew people that had planted over a million trees themselves -- as individuals. I personally planted 325,000 in a nine year career. I'd say, have a go, but why not a million? five million? ten million? Have a look at the Sahel tree belt for inspiration, y'all. We'll be _rootin'_ for ya. >>

It took longer than I thought, perhaps I had lost that wibbly wobbly stuff for some days. 😂
But now I published my thoughts about the weird feelings of #time when we feel overwhelmed. And how to get our timey-wimey stuff back:
https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/6a7c6585-3b32-4168-ba32-ef0e3a7c9364?utm_campaign=steady_sharing_button

Yes, we can debate now if wolves invented #StandingStones by marking and how you find your #tree. 😁

Looking up into a tulip tree with its tulip shaped leaves, you could be blinded by the sunlight reflected off the leaves, which glow in shades of amber, gold, yellow and orange.

A towering snow-covered mountain rises above a dense, frosted evergreen forest and a sunlit winter valley, with wisps of cloud drifting across its peak. The scene feels serene and majestic.

Small grove is a hand-painted watercolor painting in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
A group of trees stands against a background in strong blue tones. The trees' foliage is painted with bright orange, yellow and green hues, creating a vivid contrast to the blue of the background. The leaves have been painted with loose brushstrokes, creating a feeling of lightness and movement, while the tall grass beneath the trees provides a textured foreground.

Carpet of Autumn Gold

#SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #Photography #Photo #NaturePhotography #Nature #Trees #Autumn #Landscape

A ground-level perspective photo looks directly along a woodland path blanketed in autumn leaves, emphasizing shallow depth of field. The immediate foreground features blurred, close-up leaves in shades of golden yellow and reddish-brown, drawing the focus toward the sharp, textured leaf layer just beyond. The path extends into the distance between slender, bare, and leaf-bearing trees displaying autumn tones. A thick mist envelopes the background, causing the far end of the path and the surrounding woods to fade into a soft grey haze.

A small watermark with the text "PAUL JACKSON" is located in the bottom right corner.

Of Trees, Tenderness, and the Moon: Hasui Kawase’s Stunning Japanese Woodblock Prints from the 1920s-1950s – The Marginalian

https://www.themarginalian.org/2021/03/22/hasui-kawase-prints/ @mariapopova

❮“After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, love, and so on — have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains?” the aging Walt Whitman asked in his diary as he contemplated what makes life worth living while recovering from a paralytic stroke, then answered: “Nature remains… the trees, fields, the changes of seasons — the sun by day and the stars of heaven by night.” …❯
