“My daughter was out looking for a photo of ‘nature’ for her photography class.

We went down to the fairgrounds to maybe get a picture of a lake or some ducks.
After taking lots of pictures and on our way back to the car she found a true hidden secret of nature, something my Grandpa showed me when I was little, and I showed my kids, and I am sure they will show their children.

She found a Cottonwood tree with dry twigs underneath. If you break a dry Cottonwood twig at it’s rings, you will find a star inside.

I remember spending hours collecting Cottonwood sticks and breaking them. I think she found a beautiful picture to represent nature.”
