Trees & More

Winter makes it easier to see the "bones" of the landscape.

I only recently noticed this tree. At some point it nearly fell over and the top broke off, but a side branch then became the main trunk. I'm going to have to "core" the tree and look at its history!
Less than a hundred feet away from the previous trees are these two "twisty" specimens.
Until recently, this blow-down was a hollow log about 20 feet long, but most of the log collapsed leaving only the hollow stump end.
A small herd of about 5 deer have been regular visitors to our "meadow" (septic drain field), I think because it's a south-facing slope and the snow melts before other places. They also came up close to the house.
Another look at the deer. My asparagus beds are just off to the left. I've got to protect them this spring!
One of our trail cams caught a squirrel leaping across the snowy road.
More than wildlife can be caught by our trail cams. This was a particularly good picture of Dakota.
