This post is perhaps less inspiring than some, but when a helicopter flew over my back yard this past week, I couldn't pass it up for H.
What was it doing? I have no idea. It buzzed across the field and out of view over the cemetery.
You may be wondering why I think that "Porcupine Tree" is an H entry. Perhaps you even think I've sort of lost my phonetic bearings. Not at all. Take a look.
I've showed porcupine trees before. I looked back, and I've showed you four others, but only one of those times did I see the porcupine, and I couldn't get a picture. No critter this time either, although there's clear evidence that it's occupied (a fresh pile of poop at the bottom of the hollow tree).

That tree is awesome! Great H post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :)
Thanks for visiting me!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love finding letters in nature!
How very fascinating~
Great H...did you ever find out about the helicopter?!
Nice to meet you~
That is a terrific H.
ReplyDeleteThat's the most innovative "H" post I've seen yet!
ReplyDeleteSo love that tree!!!! Great H post :D
ReplyDeleteEven the trees are in the spirit of the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool tree shape!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you picked a porcupine tree for "H", ha, ha.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. Love the tree! And, I'd be writing about a helicopter in my backyard too, great pics.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a porcupine tree! Maybe the helicopter had heard about a murder in mule swamp! ;0
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the post about the tree frog too!
How cool is the porcupine tree!

What a FANTASTIC tree! Great H.
ReplyDeleteThe tree is amazing-nice fit for the H day. We don't see helicopters often, and when we do, they're usually LifeFlight which makes me worry about whoever is on it.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your picture of the porcupine tree. I'm going to have to follow the A Diversity of Wildlife link after I post this comment to find out more.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the story of the Reluctant Prince(ss) you told on Sunday. The pictures were what made it for me :)
Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER
Oh, that porcupine tree is lovely! The helicopter is attractive, too, but not nearly as nice. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog! Just thought I'd return the favor.
ReplyDeleteI want that tree - looking over the comments I guess we all do but I'd like to request it NOT come with the fresh pile at the bottom of the hollow there :)

ReplyDeletethe h tree is very unique as well.
ReplyDeletetUcKeR is afraid of helicopters. they really scare him...
and he never saw Blue Thunder....
Nice shot of the chopper...every one I take is blurry :). That is a most interesting tree, I have never heard of or seen one of them.
ReplyDeleteOh! It really IS a porcupine tree! Do they just sit up in the tree and poop??
ReplyDeleteThat tree is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the band Porcupine tree. That's as far as my expertise goes lol
ReplyDeleteI've flown in a helicopter once...in beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park in Alberta, Canada...gorgeous. I didn't spot a porcupine tree, though...amazing H.
