It is amazing what you miss when you take a walk. Until I went off in search of sticks, I never noticed just how many sticks can be found out and about. You can find beautiful decay in the strangest places, including sticking out from between some rocks next to a little stream.
These are most excellent sticks, provided by a rather lovely grove of redwood trees. The redwoods were rather disgruntled to have lost many of their little sticks. The latest windstorms did them no favors. However, I’m quite gruntled to have found their little stick presents lying all over the ground for me to photograph.
Tip: do not let one of these sticks have a close encounter with your foot. It hurts. Also, those little pine needles are nefarious, demonic entities determined to become lodged in your shoes and adhere to your socks.
