Messing with Nature's head

This poor tree is all confused if it's fall and should shed it's leaves or if it's spring and should sprout blossoms.  That's what happens when you don't have a winter. (La Jolla, CA)

If you don't like Baseball just skip this

A couple people were getting on me for not posting more, so in honor of them I will share with you one baseball link that made me realize how utterly pointless it is to follow rumors of trades and other possibilities like I have been doing for the last couple of months since baseball ended in October.
And so I give you the breaking news:
The Kansas City Royals have traded for Johan Santana. (If I'm going to say it, I might as well blow it even more out of proportion.)

A Year Flows By

I just thought this was a beautiful and not too cold way to end the old year.  (Lynn Run State Park, Ligonier, PA)
