Poetic Shutterbug

I saw these two tree stumps in the gardens yesterday and it got me thinking about many things that have me stumped. Most of the things that have me stumped have to do with our government like why are those people in office when they act like two year olds? Local things have me stumped like why do people walk around nude on our city streets? We really don't want to see all that, seriously. Everyday things have me stumped like why do I constantly misplace my keys? In the grand scheme of things I guess you could say I am stumped much of the time. What really stumps me typing this post is the fact that I sound like Andy Rooney. My two questions this week are: 1. What stumps you? 2. Have you found answers to what stumps you?

While walking the gardens I came across this dirt path through another pathway of tall trees. There were no flowers on these trees yet you can see the pathway through a Cabernet colored infusion of what looked like dust along the dirt. It was unusual yet beautiful. I found this interesting. It tells a story and I love the colorful hues. I like the contrast and the fact that it is so unusual. There are stumps and odd shaped stones and rock providing unusual decor all around the gardens of which I find wildly fascinating.

With all the new paths at the Botanical Gardens I have been encountering some new spots I had never seen so here are some photos of tree stumps, bark etc... that I found interesting while roaming the redwood trail. I will have more for you these next few days. Enjoy!
