Macro Monday – From Acorn to Oak Tree
….June 30, 2025
Last year we had an abundance of acorns. When you have a metal roof you become acutely aware of that fact when they start to fall.
I’ve never given much thought as to how acorns germinate to become trees until this summer. The pathways around my cottage are littered with tiny oak saplings and directly below the leaves are the acorns that have ruptured open and developed roots growing into the ground and leafy stems reaching for the sky. Luckily they are easy to pull up or I would have dozens of unwanted oak trees on my property.

If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to get back to you when I get your pingback. Have fun.
Macro Monday – Finding Close-ups at the Cottage
Macro Monday – September 21, 2020
…I love taking macro shots
Our last weekend at the cottage. I took a few moments to search for interesting macro shots of nature.
It’s Beginning to Change
….not just the temperature and the amount of daylight hours
Last week I spent four days at the cottage. It was only my third visit of the season and next week I’ll do one more visit and close up for the winter. It’s been a strange cottage season for the lessees on Christian Island but I’ve enjoyed it non the less.
Even walking through the woods was prohibited but we were allowed to venture to the beach and up and down our lanes. I’m beginning to notice the signs that autumn and winter are on their way. When the winds start up the acorns land hard on our metal roof and make a loud bang. There’s not a lot of change in colour yet but there are signs everywhere that it won’t be long now.
