Brutus Baby Likes Trees

Brutus Baby Home

Brutus Baby loves trees. He climbs all over them. Look at the bark on this one. It's all curly and rough. Sometimes he looks under the bark for ants or other bugs. For him, they are like puppies and kittens are to us. We're surprised he doesn't try to bring them home. They can't hurt him.

Normally we would ignore a tree like this. Not much is left, and it's been dead for a long time. Brutus Baby stopped and looked at all the tree shavings that have formed as the tree disappears. There is a lot of texture in the tree remnants.

Brutus also likes trees that are no longer trees. Here he burrowed into a pile of wood chips left over from an old tree.

Brutus was climbing in a tree that had an old spider web. He did an atheletic jump and twist so the web stuck to his back, leaving him dangling in mid-air, almost like a bungee jump. If you look closely, you can see some of the webbing suspending him.

Here he found a tree that was breaking apart. A perfect Brutus Baby climbing area.

More playing and climbing in the intricate bark of a big tree.

Where there are trees, there are other bushes like this one.

Sitting on a fence with a big tree behind him. Looks like that tree's got your back, Brutus!

So ... a Bougainvillea bush and its magenta flowers may not be considered a tree, but Brutus Baby didn't care. It was another place to climb, and a perfect spot to pose for our camera. Lookin' good, Brutus!!
