Offshoot outing to Co.Carlow

Trees in Magnolia Park Rochford.

Tremendous storm tore my neighborhood apart. 5 minute storm, and it's been sirens and such all night. We have (shockingly) maintained power through it all. Everyone has been walking about checking out the damage.

Nature hates trees :(

The rain stopped for an hour tonight and the sun came out, just for an hour. Just enough time to grab the camera and head out. I had just a couple of minutes to get this shot

while the sun was setting this tree had some lovely side lighting which was showing all the detail and texture in the bark.

I liked that this squirrel's ears were nearly white. Or at least as silvery as the lining on his tail.

I love the branches on oak trees. They seem so go any way they want.... always reaching.
