Twenty-nine: Ode to Ponderosa Pine

Have you ever tucked your nose into the sun warmed bark of a ponderosa pine tree and inhaled?  If not, DO it!!  Its earthy, vanilla-orange scent melts my heart and never fails to brighten my outlook. 

Living in Colorado I'm never far from this odiferous sublimity and am not to proud to nuzzle my face toward its redolent surface in appreciation.
