Made spruce-tip-ade today. Filled a stock pot 2/3 with spruce tips and several sprigs of mint, covered with water, simmered for like 45 minutes. Strained, added a little more than a cup of sugar per gallon and the juice of a lime.

It's pretty bangin'. Loads of vitamin c, extremely seasonal and local (side yard), and tasty.

Do not try if you're allergic to any of those things, but otherwise it's recommended highly. :)

Spruces love all this rain.

This much growth since spring.

A hand measuring the bright green spruce tips between thumb and index finger. It's about 8 cm. There's many more bright green tips all around and the usual darker, older needles.

This is a hand painted plein air watercolor created while in the arctic wilderness of Alaska. The last rays of autumn sun in the north came through a ridge of spruce trees, warming the fall foliage below.

A pair of tall spruce trees amidst some smaller trees. The spruces have gray scaly bark and lower limbs that are bare of needles.

Little spruce I replanted from an overcrowded area to the front of the house is doing really well. That's 10cm growth since October :blobcataww:

"Rain Drop on Spruce"

By Scott Loring Davis, Fine Art Photography https://pixels.com/profiles/scottloringdavis

Walking the shores of Lake Arrowhead one rainy day I come across a spruce tree and notice a lone droplet hanging delicately from the tip of a branch. READ MORE https://pixels.com/featured/rain-drop-on-spruce-scott-loring-davis.html

Shadow and light in the forest

I love old mossy forests

#nature #naturephotography #forest #spruce

My tree growing season started at new this week. I often run into tiny bird nests at work.

Spruce branches surrounding a little bird nest, with three tiny brown eggs with black dots on them.

Making more clones of the two condemned trees damaging our foundation. I think it's a blue spruce.

Last winter I did two pots of these, in an experiment. The ones with torn off twigs didn't seem to root so well, the cut ones did.

This time I got some rooting hormone to try and see if that accelerates things a little. Of course it's now also spring.

That way the trees can live on, planted anew, further out in the garden.

An old wooden table. On it are a big green flowerpot, some spruce twigs, some tools, a small plastic can with the lid open and a large water bottle cut open sideways with drain holes stabbed in the bottom. It contains wet potting soil and densely staked spruce twigs.

The twigs have very sharp needles and come from a tree with blue tips and tall and narrow cones.

Spruce needles infected by Chrysomyxa ledi, “marsh rust” in Finnish, a fungus that colors the needles orange.

My spruce in the snow!

Closeup of spruce pinecones clustered on a branch, hanging down. The branch is covered with a thick blanket of snow, obscuring the short spines, but on the underside of the branch where the pinecones are hanging from, the green of the spruce shows through.

This image shows a spruce tree with an unusual, large burl formation around its lower trunk. The tree is growing on a sloped forested hillside, surrounded by other conifers, moss, and undergrowth. The burl, a large rounded growth, is likely caused by stress factors such as injury, fungal infection, or genetic mutation.

Yesterday it snowed

A closeup of the snow covered branches of a spruce tree. The short green needles poke out through a layer of white snow.

Calmly cooking beetroots. The old Christmas tree we once planted in our garden now reaches to the rooftop.
