Oh thank you Pop's for posting thoses.
I remember reading the story and I was saddened that it had been blown over in the storms.

WOW, that is way bigger with your perspective shots!

Such a beautiful specimen.
There is about a 10 square mile area of old growth Red Spruce trees that I have visited before and I am always left in awe of them. A few years ago one was blown over similar to this one.
They had made a sort of boardwalk under it at the base .

I mentioned the other day to a co worker that I did not like the fact that it seems they are cutting them faster than they can grow.
A hardwood tree does not grow that fast and in one's lifetime they do not mature so if you are lucky enough to have mature trees I would try and protect them.

I guess the water table is being replenished I hope back to normal with all the rain and snow out west.
Let's see what lake is it that is down so much in levels, the one they have giant suction pipes that pump to the cities.....I hope it's levels are up.

Thank you again for sharing those wonderful pictures, Popster !
