I spent the afternoon baffled by cracking sounds coming from a pine tree (you will hear it if you listen closely to the video audio below). At first, I thought it must be an animal picking at its bark or branches; then it occurred to me that today is the first hot day (35°C/95°F) of the South African spring—it is the pine cones opening in the heat!
wow! that’s incredibly serene and somewhat rhythmical. life feels like it takes deeper breaths and moves more languidly there. thanks for sharing. 🙂

It certainly does. It is heaven to me—albeit one hellishly hot.
