The first picture is from Parkersburg just last week. It is one of the only stripped trees left (they were all cut down) and it has sprouted some life back as has some of the town itself (you can also see some new houses in the background). Upon first viewing the trees in Parkersburg 5 months ago, you were filled with a sense of loss that can not be explained. It didn't appear that these trees had endured wind-it was more of damage done by explosion-the bark, leaves just stripped. The other two pictures are a couple of my maples planted in 95ish. The cell phone just can't capture the incredible beauty (of course I might be a little biased).
Hey- neat pictures. Your tin man
ReplyDeleteand Dorothy and the rest is
neat too. I thought the trees
in Parkersburg were the saddiest
part of the whole mess. Know
the value of them wasn't anything
compared to all the loss but
there was something about them
that was really eerie. I bet you
are so happy that you spent some
of the " moldly money" of your
and purchased 1/2 grown trees
instead of getting little seedlings
and not being able to enjoy them
until you were 80. Keep those
pictures coming. Enjoy them. Was
happy to see Cindy sent one in too.
