Tree-mendous Tuesday

In the last ten years, Madison County, Virginia, has become a wine county with vines growing on some of the unlikeliest of properties. The tubes sheltering these sapling vines are for protection from critters, usually deer. I'm not sure about these tubes, but most of the newer ones are biodegradable and disappear within a few years. They are used for both grapevines and apple trees. Sapling apple trees are spaced much further apart.
A dreamy view of some conifers on a hillside with a blanket of mist. A quite liked the addition of the sapling in the foreground doing its best to be regimentally straight as the rest of the conifers. Taken at Little Wittenham Wood

Horse Chestnut saplings in woodland clearing.

Whilst all around are devoid of leaf and colour, this golden tree drew me in!
The Beech saplings are certainly good a keeping their autumn cloak, Another from my potter around Roddlesworth Woods.
Took a stroll in Barnes's Grove this morning as it looked a bit misty, but by the time I got there, no mist at all! The sun came out so looked for other photo opportunities and came across this bunch of saplings lit by the morning sun, their light bark almost made this image look infrared with the contrast of the darker wood behind.

Just walking towards the old schoolhouse and I spotted this one before it spotted me. Very early morning.
On an extremely windy and very wet spring day, saplings (and their brand new leaves), growing on a small crag below Hallin Fell, shiver during a very brief glimpse of sunlight, backed by a turbulent Ullswater.
With majestic Ponderosa pines towering up to 130 feet overhead, I find that it’s easy to overlook the understory life quietly persisting on the forest floor. Scattered among the pine needles and shade, small Oregon Grape saplings like this one struggle for light and moisture, their holly-like leaves turning brilliant shades of red in early fall. Soon to be blanketed by snow in this northern Montana wilderness, these hardy little plants face a long battle for survival in the shadow of giants.
This photo was taken in early September in the Kootenai National Forest, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. The towering pines shape the forest ecosystem, influencing light and soil conditions, while the delicate balance of understory vegetation sustains much of the forest’s diversity.
Yay for the little guys!

I took a walk yesterday in the very foggy valley with the dogs. This section of the walk, through the woodland, is laden with dry crisp leaves fallen from the canopy of trees. This sapling tree glowed in the struggling light showing off its magnificent autumn splendour!

Ventana Wilderness - A hopeful sapling, growing up against the burned bark of a tree that died in the Soberanes fire (2016). So much of this trip was about bearing witness to the immensity of destruction wrought by wildfires, and how nature struggles to recover for decades or centuries after they leave the headlines. In some places, the young growth amidst charcoal felt hopeful, but in many others, this was not the case - old growth does not recover so quickly, and mammals were virtually nonexistent on this trip. Sobering to see it up close.
Seven young sibling Wood Ducks simultaneously become aware of an intruder encroaching on their mudflat sanctuary on Horsepen Bayou. Like many (but not all) fledgling birds on the bayou, they have been well schooled by their parents to be wary of strangers and they quickly headed across the water to the thick cover on the other bank.
As yet a another new modern housing development is approved the hillside nearby has been covered with the new generation of trees, bursting & ready to take their places in the sky. Many years from now this forest will hopefully camouflage that new busy road yet to open in the distance.
