Even if we have had few rains those last months, the fruits of autumn are germinating thanks to the microclimate allowed by the creek in the valley.

Life finds a way!

Even more wonderful, this tiny seed will develop into the bigger living on earth, the Sequoia sempervirens, 20 000 times taller. They are not present here already but I plan to sow one.

Appetizers for squirrels

October 2015: even if the forest is still green, fruits from autumn are there already. They fall earlier than usually, probably due to last nice sunny summer.

Everywhere below oaks are raining acorns, sweet appetizers for squirrels.
