I'm working on my Zora drawing skills, so here's a freshly designed fish doctor and a slightly re-designed Mawari.

The pine's new year begins in May, when the terminal bud becomes 'the candle.' Whoever coined that name for the new growth had subtlety in his soul. 'The candle' sounds like a platitudinous reference to obvious facts: the new shoot is waxy, upright, brittle. But he who lives with pines knows that candle has a deeper meaning, for at its tip burns the eternal flame that lights a path into the future. May after May my pines follow their candles skyward, each headed straight for the zenith, each meaning to get there if only there be years enough before the last trumpet blows. It is a very old pine who at last forgets which of his many candles is most important, and thus flattens his crown against the sky. You may forget, but no pine of your own planting will do sou in your lifetime.

Eastern white pine, remnant as border marker for late 1800 logging claim as seen from grays arch. The tree is one of the largest white pines left in red river gorge. It is noticable from 2 miles away with an un earthly sprawl and height for any white pine in the area. Its not uncommon to leave single plot trees as both mother and marker trees. An example of this in another place in v B.C. CA. Is "big lonley doug" a massive douglass fir tree.

PINUS SABINIANA APPRECIATION POST

PINUS SABINIANA!!!!! WORLD'S SECOND HEFTIEST PINECONE AND ARID LANDSCAPE LOVER! its relatively short lifespan, durable cones, and lightweight wood suggest it coevolved with low burning periodic forest fires. it's also got absolutely DELICIOUS seeds and if you ever get the chance to eat them roasted, the P. pinea seeds you get in the grocery store dont even compare. P. sabiniana is easily recognized from its blue grey crown, three-needle fascicles, and deeply-furrowed bark. It's an unusually heavily forked tree for the pinus genus; if not for its outstandingly massive size, it might be classified as a shrub. (last photos are of the largest reliably measured specimen near Grass Valley (person for scale))

Long leaf pines get tall & majestic eventually, in their own way, but first they go through several years looking like bottle brushes.

They are not joking around with the name, tho. Them suckers LOMG
