Tree-hug on june 11

This morning I visited one of my favorite woodland-trees.  

A handsome pin-striped oak-charmer.

With a generous and peaceful nature.

Nearby I discovered the drooping fruit-pods of an American Bladdernut.  How cool!  And they float!  When the pods dry out the loose seeds inside turn them into rattles!  Free fun.  Visit nature.  Hug a tree.  💚 Peace
