Pine sap slips down ponderosa's trunk Drip, drip, drip. Pine beetles communicating, fornicating, lubricating their homes. Hundred year old tree.
Life cycles living, breathing, growing, dying, continues.
Cold weather brings thoughts of hibernation. Beetles snug inside their trees. Click, click, click. Sunny day breaks icicles from ponderosa branches, snapping, cracking, breaking, landing in the snow below. 2001 Onomatopoeic words are those that sound like the action they are describing.
