Venturing Forth into Blogger Beta


I’m going to try and venture forth into the conversion to the new Blogger Beta. In case things get wonky around here over the next few days: consider yourself warned!

Hopefully, all will run smoothly, and soon we will have a new-and-improved Arboreality to explore. Cross your fingers (or your divining rods) and wish me luck!

PS – We hit 200 posts in the forest today – who-hoo!


PPS - If you should have any problems with Arboreality and its changes, please let me know either in the comments, or by email at jadeblackwater [at] brainripples [dot] com. Thank you for your help and your patience during the transition!

Rain on Pin Cherries


As I mentioned last week, I have loads to share with you as the trees prepare for their big show!

For now, enjoy this shot of pin cherries from last Friday during some of that beautiful, gorgeous, delicious rain we had.

Maples, Moon, Mulberries, and Mysteries







Good morning! Here are some of the dawn’s catch, including our waning moon framed by a silver maple (we’ll investigate the silver maple more closely in a separate post).

The second image is what I believe to be another variety of mulberry (so far I believe that there are at least two if not three or more types of mulberry trees growing around here). Based on the leaves, I believe this to be a white mulberry.

The third image is of the type of mulberry growing next to the cottage. This might ALSO be called a white mulberry, or possibly a red mulberry. I’m going to have to do some research to help learn the difference between them.

I’m still planning to show you more about the really great mulberries growing by the cottage. We’re also still working on the unidentified-possible-mulberry-possible-something-else tree (which might even be a quaking aspen) from a couple weeks ago. Zut alors! So many trees, so little time!

Also, remember the mystery tree from January that turned out to be an Eastern white pine? Not to be out done, the evergreens are in blossom as well which you can tell of the Eastern white pine seen in image four, and the oriental spruce Christmas tree I planted in January seen in image five.

Finally, we’re still working on the identity of the mystery tree seen in the final image. I wanted to share another update on its progress – it’s really filling out nicely!

Hmmm… so much for focusing more on my work and less on my tree blog!
