    Footprints in the snow

    On a walk today in the woods and there are plenty of rabbit tracks and such. A few small critters too, like mice. I am not sure what critter these footprints belong too. I know there is an ermine on the property so maybe that’s what it is.

    I originally found this tree grown over the wire fence  back on Jan 09 2007. The tree continues to grow, although the sap is a clear indication of the tree’s disagreement with the steel wire. I’ll have to get back there and get a picture in the same way as the original back in 2007.

    While on a walk on the west side of the property down near the lake, I seen this old softwood, long past its prime, standing in defiance of nature’s elements. What caught my eye was this last piece of bark, taking its final leave.

    The south side of our property has an old wire fence marking the boundary from the road to the lake. At some point long ago the fence must have been near the tree and eventually the tree slowly engulfed the wire. Later, nature taking its course of duty, the tree dies, and falls. What remains is the stump, still willing to do its job of holding the line.

    This is The Hollow, the southern most area of our property. A gathering of big hardwoods and decaying softwoods reaching over 40 ft to the sky.
