When brother wind is blowing in the woods you need to watch out for falling trees and limbs, especially when you are choosing a camp site. Look up into the trees and make sure there are no widow makers.
These widow makers came to be here because of the fallen tree below!
Wet ground and high winds can bring large trees to the ground, especially in rocky soil.
Destruction. You would not want to be under this lot.
One of the pluses from a fallen stringybark tree. This is quite a large tree, and there is enough bark here to make a good sized roof on a shelter, and even enough to make a bark canoe.
A sure sign there is wild boar around. Check the ground to see how old the diggings are, the boar could still be close-by. Going by the tracks/sign here, it was a pretty large boar.
Whilst checking to see if the boar had gone into the reeds, I spotted this last remnant of cattail head just ready to collect for tinder.
Oh so true. Living in the northwest and the winds that rush thru the big fir trees seen my share.
ReplyDeleteAh, but there is a special sound when brother wind moves through the fir and pine forests.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Diane.
