Hi Y’all,

I recently received an email asking bout the nubs you see sticking out of the water and along the path, and all the things that look like sticks on the beach.

You’ll see a bunch together on the path to the right and ahead of me on the path and a couple next to my left paws.

These nubs are called knees and the sticks are roots.  They both belong to the cypress trees in the wetland part of the yard.  If you’re in areas where there is swamp the knees are usually sticking just above the water level and can be quite tall.

  4. So, I gotta ask, how many of those bumpers do you have, or do you only have one that lasts forever??? Do you sleep with one too? It seems like you are always carrying one around.

  5. Thanks for the nature lesson Hawk. We never lives in your area, so there are lots of things we've never seen.

  6. Cypress knees are pretty cool when they are in the marsh...then they get pretty big! I see you have been very busy, Hawk. Lots of romping and running outside. Is the weather still nice there?

  10. Very cool! I have never seen a cypress tree before and never would have thought the sticks coming out of the water were actually a part of them!

  11. Those knees are neat. Mr. N likes tugging on the tree roots by the river sometimes.
