Trees - our four sisters

The four sisters
I've been working in the forest. Having a grand time. Trying to create a walking path for us that wends its way through our forest. The cedars have been crowded out by maples, and the dead cedars fall. A tree had to be brought down, one that will surely fall in the next storm. A dead cedar, it isn't good on a walking path! The kittens similarly helped. I chased them away.


This one on lot #3 amazes me

big storm toppled this conifer - such shallow roots

Love these massive pines

Amazing catalpa in Westport

Deadfall, they squish a young catalpa.
I've been trying to dig it out by pruning.
The bees that live under the left root dissuade me.

dark shadows, ancient beasts
Loved this tree, with arms, in Bala, Muskoka.
Losing its head in a storm, it still survived.
They chopped its arms off later, tho

wind storm knocked this over

Always amazed at the size

Amazing how they fall and lean for many years
This is our lot 3.

Tree museum?! Who knew?



I've noticed a couple of interesting tree sites of tree museums and tree tours!
