These young white pines are directly across from the observation platform in the pine woods at Mud Lake. I suspect that these trees are the offspring of the mature pines across the lake. If Mud Lake were my backyard this area is probably where I'd want my chair!

This old single pine somehow survived right near the railway. Thick short branches makes me thinking about some creatures of dark forest from ancient myths...
First time outside to do some serious photography since last year. This was taken at Lake Brewer/ Erie Wild Life management Area.

We got probably 10 to 12 inches of snow overnight and into the morning and when I took this it was still coming down.
[Previously unposted highlights from 2016] While there are flashier and more musical warblers, the Pine Warbler has a simple elegance in yellow and white that is unmatched. Observed in 'Pure Michigan'.
Limber pine (Pinus Flexilis ) is distributed from southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia to northern Arizona and New Mexico and southern California.
In Alberta it exists in disjunct stands, and plans for the detailed mapping of the location and boundaries of limber pine stands are underway.
This report summarizes existing information on limber pine in Alberta to
assist in assessing its status in the province.
In Alberta, the species is found in montane and lower subalpine areas on xeric-to-subxeric, exposed and wind-swept sites. It is a pioneer species and colonizes disturbed sites, and thrives in harsh environments. Its seeds are dispersed mainly by Clark’s nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana), and this mutualistic relationship is critical to the long-term viability of limber pine.
An invasive alien fungus, white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola), causes high mortality and is largely responsible for the decline of limber pine throughout most of its range in Alberta. High mortality coupled with often-poor regeneration provides a poor prognosis for limber pine.
