The images presented today were all taken early in the mornings. First is a trail bordering Bouldin Creek and flanked by the main Sante Fe rail line: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/creek+trail+morning+dimness.jpg.html As found this tree trunk looked scorched but was growing a healthy line of fungi: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/downed+tree+with+funji.jpg.html About 2500 paces down this trail I looked up and found the work of industrious youth: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/treehouse+deep+in+the+woods.jpg.html Most of the waterways around here are bounded by limestone, when it rains the waters rise quickly and with the slopes move very quickly. Usually when it storms around here the winds come on pretty hard. So, it is not uncommon to find brush moved by water and limbs broken by wind: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/high+winds+and+high+water.jpg.html Just a typical creek bed a week after the rains: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/survival+on+the+creek+bed.jpg.html My wife volunteers at a equine therapy center, this last image is a grove fenced off from the horses, although if you look very closely you will see fencing on the forground tree to keep creatures from munching on the tree: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/shady+grove+in+the+horse+pasture+with+electric+fencing.jpg.html -- Don don.dory at gmail.com -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
