Also the forms and shapes of winter. Yesterday, I parked in an area in Oxford with a grove of tall trees so closely spaced that there were few lower branches, only the vertical shapes of the trees. Quite beautiful. The forest here appears to be regenerating. There are many seedling trees. My guess is that, because this is largely a rural, heavily forested state, the deer pressure here is much lower than what we experience in the highly populated Northeast US.James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20141337.post-64374274305110948182012-01-09T04:58:51.362-05:002012-01-09T04:58:51.362-05:00You actually make me miss (a little bit) east coas...You actually make me miss (a little bit) east coast U.S. winter. I do miss seeing the beautiful blond beech leaves among the other bare trees. I think blond is an underappreciated shade in fall and winter. Are these woods as eaten down by deer as many of the mid-Atlantic ones are?Cindy at enclos*urehttp://enclosuretakerefuge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20141337.post-83492879309456105902012-01-08T09:45:46.492-05:002012-01-08T09:45:46.492-05:00I felt this surge of happiness and excitement on a...I felt this surge of happiness and excitement on arrival, same feelings I remember on arriving in Rome or Buenos Aires. Then I realized it was the sunny, warm weather making my subconscious think it was spring. Now rain has come and it's getting colder.
