Two old friends. I've been visiting this Eastern White Pine & Shagbark Hickory on a friend's farm for over 20 years now. I can't explain why their continued existence and growth is comforting to me, but it is. Everything is ephemeral but some things really take their time with it.

Thank you for following through. I've been online for 30 years and I hope we can carve out some sanctuaries that capture some of the awesomeness of what the Internet used to be. It'll be work but well worth it.

Yes! One of my favorite trees! (I only have 12 or fifteen). They're all along the Nashua River through the Flats. Buttonballs everywhere on some of our recent walks.
