up a tree

Jack Black Magic has a new way to get on the deck. He rapidly scales this nearby redwood and leaps in a death-defying arc to the ledge.


And speaking of up a tree, our cherries were wonderful this year. My favorite memory will be the cute firemen plucking and eating to their hearts' content... "Look, cap'n, dinner!" joked one. Since the birds discovered them that's about it for this year.


Oh to be so steady in the face of adversity. To leap and climb with agility beyond human measure. To land always on one's feet.

And to look so handsome while doing so.
