Solitaire

This was captured in February during the middle of winter.
Camped in Yosemite Valley a snow storm moved through the valley dumping about 8 inches of snow.
As I made my way through the village in the morning I saw this fabulous snow covered oak tree and decided it would make a good subject for a photo. It's not really solitaire but it did stand out from al the other trees around.

Three years ago, we found a tiny apricot tree sprouted from a kernel in the compost heap.
Planted it and cared for it. it now has its first fruit, about five little apricots!

This year's count of new oak trees from acorns hidden by squirrels is 12. Will be potted and given away next year when they can survive on their own.

Grape vine cutting has roots & leaves. By one, get many free, 😃.

First lavender is in full bloom. Lots of bees enjoying it. Pic later.

Ten "rescue" #oak seedlings I dug up and potted. They're volunteers from acorns that were stashed by scrub jays in litter beneath some Redwood trees. Some are Valley Oak. Others appear to be Coast Live Oak. From a strip of city easement land that gets whacked by city string trimmers every once in a while. Some bigger specimens (which i haven't "saved") show signs of having been whacked in the past. With any luck, these will recover from shock, and can be planted in approved sites.#trees
