It's been hard on the plants...of the years in succession, it's been drought, ice storm, drought, windstorm, and finally ice storm. I hope this is a nice summer and the weather calms down.<br /><br />Frank....I know what you mean. The trees are so tall, I would think more would hold them up. It's true....the surrounding trees will have more opportunity to grow, plus as the trees decomposes the humus will help the soil and lots of animals use them too!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-82929537086481929522009-04-21T18:09:00.000-04:002009-04-21T18:09:00.000-04:00The power of nature - amazing to see how tall tree...The power of nature - amazing to see how tall trees have such shallow roots. I remember the devastation caused by the 'Big Storm' over here in the 80's when we lost many 000's of trees but it did provide opportunities for new growth and habitats.FABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185823702988992159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-5900995886623129422009-04-21T12:20:00.000-04:002009-04-21T12:20:00.000-04:00Great shots!

She was so cute and sweet.<br /><br />Abe...thank you!<br /><br />Laure...with you living in Florida, you experience the real thing a lot. Our trees were definitely not made to endure winds that strong. We get tornadoes, but unless it's a direct hit, those winds blow on by. The hurricane-force winds (although weaker) were sustained. I'm glad we don't have to live through that a lot.<br /><br />Chris...thank you!! <br /><br />Ginny...thank you. You'll have to post that picture. I love to see nests with eggs.<br /><br />Ken...thank you!! I try to find interesting things to write about (but to me anything about a bird is interesting!!)<br /><br />Phillip...wow...destruction of steel tracks is pretty intense. It's always discouraging to loose old things, they can't be replaced...<br /><br />Roy...so true...I had never felt sustained winds of that strength. It went on for almost 4 hours...not fun.<br /><br />Shelley....it was fun hiking there and not crowded either. Rick used a hiking stick because he was not in the creek walking in the water. <br /><br />Montanagirl...thank you!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-91160650835091723432009-04-20T23:05:00.000-04:002009-04-20T23:05:00.000-04:00Love the photos and your story telling.Love the photos and your story telling.Montanagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428565909247665015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-62679467054108204832009-04-20T21:02:00.000-04:002009-04-20T21:02:00.000-04:00Those tree roots were huge!
