Dry day is the day to collect seed from tree.

To save the trouble of browsing on phone, shaking tree and sporting seeds all at the same time, I did some homework beforehand.

I carried couple of new envelopes and memorized some potential tree images.

And then, here I go!

Looking, circling, and staring at trees: my hands folded, mind twisted.

Is this a trick or tree?

All the trees seem to be pretending to look the same. Ahh... It's a challenge first to spot the right tree, then spot the right seeds! Too high? Too dry?Too wet? No-no.

Tree shaking isn't as easy as it sounds. Maximum force used, trees stayed still.

It is a trick or tree?

Blame our society, blame the education system... Who have shaped our lives on earth being so disconnected to the nature.

But it's OK. I'm learning. Every day.

In the end, I'm proudly present my collection of this mission: one single seed. Better than nothing, no?

Trick or tree? (ps. The title is purely written for the pun, nobody or animal is theathened during the process of production)
