If I ever go looking
for my heart's desire again,
I won't look any further
than my own backyard.
Because if it isn't there
then I never really lost
it to begin with,

Sometimes I like to go in the backyard, get underneath the redwood trees and look up. I can feel like I am in the forest without leaving home.
We planted 4 redwood trees, along the inside of our fence, 25 years ago. Then, our neighbors decided to plant 6 redwoods on their side of the fence. This month is still all about beautiful trees/leaves...redwoods, red maple, pear, Japanese maple, crape myrtle and Christmas trees. Many trees are dressed in red and leaves are accumulating everywhere. Since we do not get snow at our house, I'd like to make a trip to the mountains in January.
Today I am suppose to take Katniss back to the vet for a checkup. She has not wanted to be picked up/held for the last week. However, she is purring again, rolls over for belly rubs and sleeps on our bed. I have not made her wear a collar so we will see how she is healing after oral surgery. Hopefully, I will be able to pick her up and get her in the crate to take to the vet. I can tell you she will not be happy about it though.
A great pov to capture these gorgeous colours and light! Wow! you and your neighbours planted so many redwoods! That is simply wonderful!!! (And I sure hope Katniss is doing okay. Poor baby! Do keep us posted, Cathee) Fav!
Thank you for your nice comments and favs. These redwood trees runs along the fence of one side of our yard. When standing under their canopy, it does feel like you have entered a different world...without having to leave home. But, I still love our trips up to the mountains, lakes and pine trees.
Katniss is doing great...a week after her oral surgery! She had a good check up without having worn that dreaded cone collar! I need to give her soft food for another week and she will be good to go.
Hope your cute katniss feels better soon.
Best wishes for Katniss
