Identification walk

 


Douglas Fir or spruce? I think it's a fur. 

Scots Pine



Blue spruce.



Sycamore or platanus? I think it's a sycamore.



Oak



Juniper or yew? It didn't have the juniper berries, but it also didn't have the yew berries. Probably juniper.




Pine




Eastern White Pine


As I age, I can tolerate things being unresolved and unknown. Until they had a name for HIV and Aids, it was horrible to have a terrible disease killing people but they couldn't put a word to it. Putting words to things can be really important. Tolerating not knowing is even more important. 

Down at Willow lake the most important trees are willow. I didn't take any photos of trees down there. But I did take this photo:


My daughter saw a snake and freaked out. I was amazed she was charging through the park, a few years ago she walked in and had to turn around right away, she was scared. 


Dawn Redwood or Bald Cypress?
