The Names of Trees

Through the Kitchen Window: Snow, Sassafras, and a Junco

A quiet February snowstorm brought a Dark-eyed Junco to the Sassafras tree outside my kitchen window. I photographed the moment through the glass, and while it took me a while to edit and post these, I’m finally sharing a few frames from that peaceful winter morning.

Posting because I know three people who will care:
- today I hung out with my best friend in #Vancouver, we went to Kits Beach, Jean Beaty Park, and UBC for #geocaching. I bought #sassafras root to brew.
- I prepared #PepperSteak, with brandy, beef bouillon and whipped cream, and baked potato. Bacon fat massaged into the potato skins. At 400F and an hour the potatoes split open like popped corn.
- Watching either a Jan Svankmajer film or a Luis Bunuel film with my kid. Maybe #LupinoLane too!
Best I can tell no one follows me here for my expertise on #ITAssetManagement but it is such a pleasure to work with #Sassafras. They are the best. https://www.sassafras.com/sassafras/ #ITAM
