Snow damage. A mature nectarine tree.
Andy P

OH NO, so sorry Andy!!!

Oh, what a bummer. That was a nice size tree.

ok going back to the topic on the other thread....how incredibly sad....how about the public library pics...I don't understand why the government didn't auction off all those books and equipment...hello???? I'm sure other states/cities would have been interested in some of that.

Hard to believe that's a city in the US

Oh man! Sorry Andy

It's amazing that so much was just left to deteriorate.....someone must of been responsible for the upkeep.....

Very sad to see so many ruins in Detroit. Great documentary photography, though.

Jo, that was cute about the global warming.

Andy, sorry about your tree. Pretty much all my birch trees are ruined. Will be cutting them down soon.

Karen

Oh, too bad, Karen & Andy....hate to see that kind of damage!

I know, Marilyn, me too. Very sad.

Karen

Karen, the birches will likely sprout below the break. I lost one at the 6 foot level which will make it bushy.

i've complaining about the deer this year - this was from last weekend

OMG Bill, you'll have DH drooling if I show him this!!!!!

a closer look at some of the 4 legged trimmers - there were over 20 of them this day back there.

tell him to come on down - they are here everyday at about 5AM

here is a pictorial of where i xcountry ski

there are lots of wet lands through out the trail system

usually the ski mobiles flatten a trial - these are the tracks i made last week end - with all the freeze and thaw lately it is pretty tough on the ankles

Do you realize how many steak sandwiches there are in that picture?? You could feed Victor and the rest of the inmates at Sing-sing for a month! ^_^

state marker at the bird wetlands

Nice shot of the marker...seems a little short! LOL

some pictures of the area - skied on it for the first time this year yesterday

not without the snow!

lots of cool dead trees out here

close up of the tree

this is a stump:)

view through some cat tails

bird paradise in season

lots of wood duck houses

need to watch out for hidden moving water under the snow

went to the far side to get closer to these

more water - yesterday i followed bobcat prints all over here

last look back

here is the nh side of the state line marker - thinking this would look good in my yard :)

other side from the pond area

more of my trail breaking hard work from last week - the trail is about a foot below the snow on the sides

risked falling into the nissittissitt river on this shot

finally snow mobile tracks! - this part is through a grove of hemlock - very cool here just after a snow storm

this pond is created by a beaver dam which you usually have to ski over to avoid the stream - not now with the cool weather we've had.

that's all folks...............

Machine gun time, Bill.

Nice pix Bill

Nice trip Bill, looks like you almost went swimming!
