Thank you for your congratulations and the nice complement. I happen to live near Point Lobos, home to some of the most iconic cypress groves in the world. For this contest the cypress immediately came to mind. Thank you for your visit :-)

did I not congratulate this one . It was one of my favorites. By the way, I knew nothing about walnut trees till last year in my early 60's I picked up a bunch of them , about 2 hours work. Really hard on my old knees!! I really enjoy cracking them. If only I had more time to do that.

I happen to live in the heart of an agricultural area and have been nearly surrounded by walnut and almonds. Getting to the meat takes a bit of effort, but truly rewarding. Thank you for the congrats and for such a nice compliment.
