I have a fascination with trees. I know, what granola artist outdoorsy type doesn’t?
But at least I am specific. From summit spires, in deep desert, alone in the wilderness- I connect with
these blunt, indestructible specimens. The Manzanita branch is as smooth as your mothers arm and the color of a ripe plum. Have you ever stuck your head up under a tiny Manzanita tree? It’s a beautiful bizarre world in there! And dwarf Junipers just at treeline below an alpine summit? Inspiring in their perseverance!
Anyways- if you live in town, come see what I mean…

Very nice Jer. Wish I could make it brother.
By the way, I love the manzanita look but they hurt. I had a bad case of manzanita shrapnel from the death slabs approach back in June.
