See anything weird / strange?
Two pine trees - the one on the left is weird / strange.
All of the pine are supposed to be Willamette Valley Ponderosa Pine,
But this tree - all of its needle droop.
I'm going to ask a forester what he thinks.
Late August is a time of transition.
And ripe blackberries.
Most plants are past there prime like this Ninebark.

We've had more moderate temperatures of late and it is much appreciated!

Lovely pictures, Beth! In the first picture, the weird looking pine almost looks like a cactus. Looking forward to hearing what you find out it is.
I'll be curious what the Forester things too! But sometimes I think nature realizes it is ok to be different. Maybe the mama of this tree read it Dr. Seuss books when it was little and it wanted to grow up looking like a tree in one of his books? LOL!
