A branch similar to the one suspended in the tree in the top photo crashed down onto our front yard a couple of days ago during a rainstorm. After being cut up, its remains filled one large trash container plus the bottom of the one in the lower picture. The single section at the topContinue reading “Look Out Below!”

Three Fingers
The forked tree shadow resembled fingers poking along the street. I preferred to think that it resembled fingers instead a huge bird footprint, which it also resembles. I would hate to end up being a morsel in a horror movie called “The Chicken’s Revenge.” #shadow #fingers #street #trees #chickensrevenge
999 Happy Miles
We have one mile to go between now and New Year’s Eve to reach our goal of 1,000 miles walked for the year. The color of the tree leaves accent the many happy miles we have already covered. Hmmm, one more mile to go and only 13 days left in the year; I think weContinue reading “999 Happy Miles”
One Hundred Thousand Years and Eight Minutes
Warmth from morning sunbeams sent steamy vapors streaming outward and upward from the trunk of this tree. I just had to savor magic of the moment before releasing my inner nerd, for the energy that made it happen was created a long time ago. Here goes! Sometime about 100,000 years ago some protons in theContinue reading “One Hundred Thousand Years and Eight Minutes”
Aftermath
The night was haunted with howling winds and thumps of branches falling out of trees, but no significant damage was done. However, the trees took a beating as they usually do. There was less than an inch of rain here so there are no flooding issues in the community. I wish other areas had faredContinue reading “Aftermath”
Where the Sun Seldom Shines
The rising sun makes its morning magic by casting horizontal rays of light to illuminate parts of trees that seldom see direct sunlight. I almost expect to hear giggles from the trees as they are tickled by the rising rays. #trees #sunrise #sunbeams #light
Spring Green
The equinox has past as has the first full moon of spring. The trees are in their finest foliage, and Easter is just down the road. #spring #trees #forest #equinox #fullmoon #easter
Seedy Character
One tree in our neighborhood has gone to seed and has attracted a band of squirrels that cling, dangle, and jump from branch to branch. Sometimes hanging from their hind legs, they reach for the most remote seeds, and occasionally end up sliding down precariously to the tip of the smallest branches, barely avoiding falling.Continue reading “Seedy Character”
Time To Leaf
It’s late January and flurries of leaves, not snow are falling in central Florida. All the while new buds are sprouting, soon to be followed by new green leaves. Be they shedding or budding anew, for the trees it is time to leaf. #leaves #trees #sprouts #buds #leaf
When the Bough Breaks
Living in the woods has its benefits and its drawbacks. The shade is welcome and the trees beautiful, but at times, they cast down broken branches, especially during stormy weather. This branch came down during passage of a cold front and was about 12 feet long and 2-inches wide at its base. Probably not tooContinue reading “When the Bough Breaks”
