Pines are long-lived, typically reaching ages of 100 to 1,000 years, some even more. The longest-lived is the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine, Pinus longaeva. One individual of this species, dubbed Methuselah, is one of the world's oldest living organisms at around 4,600 years old. This tree can be found in the White Mountains of California
I had my settings completely wrong, and it took some exposure editing to even get this at all. But I was so pleased to finally see the illusion neighborhood eagle that I will take it with joy! I had to scramble dripping out of the pool, and run around the fencing in my swimsuit to achieve this. I didn’t even take time to put on my coverup. That shows a crazy level of commitment.221/365
This was the scene near our cabin during a weekend of fly fishing in Roscoe, NY (Sullivan County) near the Willowemoc Creek. Roscoe is located in Upstate, NY in the Catskill Mountains. We stayed at Creekside Cabins. I highly recommend you check them out. Nice place.
Roscoe is part of the area known as the birthplace of American fly fishing. The Beaverkill, Willowemoc and the 3 branches of the Delaware River are all close by.
I have been told that these new growths are called candles, so these made me think of Elton John's song.
Taken at the Johnson County Fairgrounds while my wife was participating in a horse show. Takes a lot of force to twist and snap a pinetree like this.
There was once a farmhouse with a gravel drive. On either side of the drive, near the entrance, the farmer planted three pine trees. They started to grow tall and they were beautiful. But a volunteer silver maple tree grew up on the southwest corner of the lot and shaded the three pines on the south side of the drive. First the middle one died and was cut down, then the southern one died but not before a bird landed in its branches. The bird had been eating cedar berries and when it took off, a seed was planted near this southernmost pine tree on the side towards the maple. The third pine, the one furthest from the maple, survived by growing very, very tall to reach for light over the maple tree. The maple has been cut down, but new branches are growing from the stump. Where the farm house once stood, there is now grass. The three pines to the north of the drive were not shaded by a maple tree and they are magnificent and healthy and rather too ordinary to serve as good photo subjects. View On Black
Here is a large tree on the east side of the same lot.

Nevermind..
BTW - Sorry if I havent been commenting on photos of late.. a tad busy and 'normal programming' should resume shortly :))
Small tornado touched down near my parents home on Saturday, March 26, 2011 and moved through their front yard. Luckily the only damages were downed trees and hail damage to the roof. A neighboring abandoned house's porch roof was lifted and placed on the back part of the roof of that house.
A neighbor's trailer was demolished. The man in the trailer was lifted by the storm, but received only scratches.
We are very blessed that my parents, my sister, and my niece who were all at home were not hurt. Also, the small community is very fortunate that no one was hurt.
