The madronna trees are just starting their summer peel - the little branches are first, the reddish-brown papery bark splitting and curling. Soon the larger branches and finally the tree trunks will expose their bright green new bark.
On this sunny summer day, the blues, greens and browns create a cheerful harmony.
Out in the thistle field, the goldfinches have arrived to get their share of thistle seed. Unfortunately, we'll need to hack down the thistles before most of them go to seed.
