Trees provide us with shade, oxygen, lumber, food and shelter for the critters of the world, including insects, birds and a variety of tree mammals.

Here in the city trees like the one below have been home to numerous racoon families in the past. I haven’t seen any in the tree this year but they are definitely around. We were sitting on our deck a couple of days ago when we noticed a family coming out of the roof of my neighbours garage. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera in hand so I wasn’t able to document the event.

Combining Tuesday Texture with Tree Square. This tree is very fuzzy but I have no idea what kind of tree it is.

Saturday Sloth (or Sunday Sloth)

….a new art challenge for Kevin

A while back our five year old granddaughter wondered by Papa didn’t make Saturday Sloths. Kevin couldn’t ignore the request so he has now added sloths to his collection of drawings. Sloths are slow and can be characterized as lazy so if Kevin doesn’t get the sloth drawn by Saturday he doesn’t feel bad.

This week’s sloth is my favourite so far so I’ve decided to share it with you.

A Fallen Tree

Every winter a tree comes down on our lot at the cottage. It might be due to age, infestation, crowding, disease or a number of other reasons. This one fell across our pathway to the beach but our kind neighbour got out her saw and cleared the path for us.
