BNSF 9089 Palmer Lake 20 Jul 24
Elephant ACes lead a northbound coal empty out of Palmer Lake, CO and into the Greenland Open Space.
It was annual fertilizing time for The Ween Tree, as seen to the left, which was the reason I was out here on this particular morning. While not massive in size or volume, he was looking relatively healthy as compared to how he was looking the past few years. This year he was showing signs of producing some cones. Each year, I'll head out here and put a few fertilizer spikes in the ground and water them in. My hope was that he'd be a good shade tree for my later years that I can sit under and watch the trains, but at the rate he's growing, there's not going to be much shade by the time I'm truly an old man! Regardless, it's a fun annual thing I look forward to. And seeing a pair of ACes, despite how ratty they're looking, was a nice bonus...
