Gramps told me that the basket on the two-wheeled, geriatric-ATV is for adult beverages.  Nothing like a party in the woods. :)

I came across this picture a few weeks ago. I belive it is the same place as in  the picture hydeoutman posted, only this is from 1920 or 1921.



I'd like to hear what you all think.

Jeff

In the spirit off Halloween, I thought I would post a picture of this tree that I hated to pass in the dark with the quad while Bear hunting. I always thought it was about to grab me. I remember years ago when it had a sign on it, it was not near as spooky.

Cant seem to get the picture to come up from my gallery.  See the saddle one I have there.  I am always intrigued when I find them like that.

I found this one on the edge of a seep/slide area. Its determined to grow, it just don't know which way to go!

White Oak Tree. This white oak tree of unusal form was found in a storm damaged timber area. It is growing out of a large rock pile. One can only imagine the hand picked rock pile created by clearing farm land now well overgrown with timber.

Yellow birch Grows From Stump. The only two birch on the 80 acre area of mixed oak, red maple, and aspen are a pole size white birch and yellow birch side by side. The yellow birch grows from a remnant stump. Maturen timber harvestl 7/08.

That type of germination and growth of yellow birch is quite unique as far as temperate hardwood go. You also get them on mossy covered boulders where the roots migrate through the moss to reach the main soil base. Conditions have to be just right though so the roots don't die in the dry times. I think the roots grow quite rapidly in yellow birch.

Y'all need to give your trees some vitamins.  They sure are pale.  :-\   Might help that case of rickets too.  :D

Wind Shaped Red Pine. Constant exposure to the winds along the Straits of Mackinaw shapes these shoreline trees. Wilderness State Park, 9/08.

Do you like them too, Ron?   I love seaside, windswept trees.  Along the Coast of the Southeast USA, Live Oak and Cedar create groves of misshapen trees, some of which look like they are permantly affixed in a gale, and others that have you looking for he spooks as the sun goes down.  I like them too.

SwampDonkey

I've notice the red cedar, lodgepole pine and western hemlock along BC's NW coast as well, the ones along the shore line and lowland. It's funny though. I tend to look at a tree most times for it timber value.  :D And some of those were just ugly, but part of the landscape none-the-less. I guess you could think of them as the front row crop that allows the trees a bit further in to grow better timber.  Sometimes you can go a long way in and still have crappy timber, depending on what it's growing on. ;D Those wind swept trees have inspired a good bunch of art though.  ;)

Yes, they add unique character and diversity to the shoreline landscape.

This tree here is on the way to my sister Lynda's house.  For some reason, when ever I see it, it reminds me of some sort of musical instrument. It has very few branches on its east and west sides, but branched out huge north and south. If you view it from the south, it looks rather flat.

I dont know if it reminds me of a harp, or what, it just seems musical in my mind.

It's looks like a harp tree to me. We don't have them down here, but we do have quite a few fiddle trees.

  I have a big live oak right by my driveway that reminds me of that. It is pretty wide, but kind of flat. It is one of my favorite trees on the place.

My wife thinks I'm being childish. She is usually right. But thought some of you might get a chuckle like I did.
