After a fire, the blackened trees still stand. Eventually they fall and a new forest grows. I know fire is a natural part of the forest cycle but I don't like the aftermath.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
There is only one place in Victoria that I know of where you where can walk right into the canola fields and immerse yourself in the glorious and bright golden yellow flowers, and that is at the 'Cornella Canola Walk'. In conjunction with the Shiraz Republic Winery and Cornella Brewery just outside of Heathcote in country Victoria, a canola walk has established complete with a viewing platform and walking track through the flowering yellow crop. And this is where I went on Saturday.
Amongst the vast fields of canola, there stood one single tree with wonderfully twisted branches. Known as the Piano Tree, this tree reminded me of the windswept trees inhabited by witches and faeries drawn by one of my favourite illustrators from the Golden Age of Children's Illustration, Arthur Rackham as it basked alone in a pool of late afternoon sun.
Now in its third year, the 'Cornella Canola Walk' is a wonderfully immersive experience that is full of colour! It was a wonderful way to spend the last day of winter this year, surrounded by a seemingly endless field of golden yellow flowers beneath the blue sky!
Suwannee, FL
Taken the day before tropical storm Colin hit - the water was already beginning to whitecap. Our intention was to go red snapper fishing 15 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. We got about 7 1/2 mi out and had to turn back because of high seas and threatening rain. Aborted trip and came back to GA.

Amongst the vast fields of canola, there stood one single tree with wonderfully twisted branches. This tree is known as the Piano Tree, because beneath its twisted branches at its base stands an old Victorian upright piano. Made by K. Schmidt Piano Manufacturers in Berlin, the upright piano is made of walnut and has beautiful panels inlaid with brass. Although out of tune, the piano can still be played. The Piano Tree reminded me of the windswept trees inhabited by witches and faeries drawn by one of my favourite illustrators from the Golden Age of Children's Illustration, Arthur Rackham as it basked alone in a pool of late afternoon sun.

Small tree fungi, residing on a rotten branch, which I rotated for the shot (I restored the previous state afterwards).
No idea what fungi are this, they are reddish or purple, the upper surface appears to be rough, they have a very short, white stem.
Lumberjack removing a dead pine tree from my neighbors yard. I think it was killed by southern pine beetles. They've had to have several dead pine trees removed because the beetles destroyed them.
This tree didn't survive, but it's still graceful. The tree is on a ledge in Capitol Reef National Park.
We arrived at Smith Rock State Park shortly before sunset yesterday. Today we hiked around the park and arrived home just as a massive thunderstorm hit with hail and heavy rain. Hopefully we will have another chance at a sunset here as the sheer cliffs of basalt and tuff are lovely at sunset.
Happy Treemendous Tuesday!
A fire set by a 15 year old boy playing with smoke bombs was ignited on 9/2/17. It burned over 48,800 acres of forest. Blackened dead trees can be seen above Oneonta Falls.
On the way down on the Guadalupe Peak trail this dead tree stood out against the surrounding Chihuahuan desert at dusk.
Explored 16th Oct 2020.

Here it's gnarled hands reach out over the vast yellow of the canola fields, ready to pluck a bloom or two!

This old dead tree looks out over Glen Feardar in the Cairngorms awaiting its final chapter. Whether it be a highland gale or a lightning strike it's past caring now.
