Idea for some winter identifying fun...

Paschale · November 27, 2005, 10:58:47 PM

One of these days soon, I'm going to go out and take some pictures of trees that are bare of their leaves, and then see who can identify them just from their profile. Could be kinda fun to pass the time until the leaves come back, and it sure would be fun to get some different trees from different parts of the country/world too for us to look at. I sure do enjoy the different shapes of the trees, and the different profiles, but I must admit, I'm not too good at identifying them yet. This should help though!

Trees don't have leaves sometimes??

Paschale,

We are starting to worry about you up there - what are you doing, plucking those trees while everyone else is sleeping?

Paschale, Can we try taking the pics at night to make it more challenging? ???

Paschale,

yeah, and I brought them ALL to my yard. ;D

Oh, and Will...here's what will REALLY make it challenging: let's leave the lense cap on. ;D

Paschale, that tree in the post you are going to make looks like a white oak to me. Yes, definitely a white oak. I can see it in the dark, with the lens cap on, before you take the picture. Is there a prize involved in this contest?

Furby · November 28, 2005, 11:24:20 PM

Sorry Bob, but it's a Black Oak! ;)

pigman · November 28, 2005, 11:30:06 PM

Furby, I guess all the snow fooled me.

Furby · November 28, 2005, 11:38:09 PM

I can see how that would happen with that pic.

Paschale · November 29, 2005, 12:39:59 AM

The next picture in the series is a Black Cherry tree. Surprised no one got that one right... ;)

Furby · November 29, 2005, 05:40:46 PM

Don't know how I missed that one Paschale. :

Just for you Pigman, this pic is one of a White Oak in a snow storm.

Paschale · November 30, 2005, 10:02:35 PM

Can anyone guess this tree?

;D

wiam · November 30, 2005, 10:25:58 PM

Paschale, This makes it harder than I thought. :D :D :D :D :D

Will

Furby · November 30, 2005, 10:37:53 PM

Black Birch?

Paschale · November 30, 2005, 10:54:01 PM

Furby, ya gotta take the shades off...it's as if your blind with a guess like that! ;)

pigman · November 30, 2005, 11:23:34 PM

The tree behind the black birch is a white ash.

Tom · November 30, 2005, 11:48:56 PM

I think it is Black Gum.

sprucebunny · December 01, 2005, 12:25:11 AM

Ebony ??? ;D

Well I had to wear the shades because of the White Ash. :

Don't know what Black Gum and Ebony look like so I don't know if I agree with either of ya.

I downloaded Paschale's picture and enhanced it. You would be suprised at al the things I can see in it.

Jeff might have to delete it. ;)

Now I'm wondering if Ash might be spelled wrong.
