Unplanting
A dead tree is removed by helicopter from Chatfield reservoir. Recent increases in water level killed large swaths of timber by the reservoir, and heli-logging has been the chosen method to remove them.
Cedar
The red tint of the cedar bark contrasts with the blue and green of the lichen growing on it’s surface.
Just Peachy
Clear sky sunsets are usually not very colorful, but this was a brilliant exception. The rolling hills and sparse trees added to the view.
Wahoo
Wahoo trees produce vivid pink and red fruit in the fall, which are enhanced here by the moisture from a recent rain.
Not Today
Rain retreats over Lake Superior, leaving a dry tree. The photo is a heavy crop of a picture of a storm by Will of this blog; I like the texture, and the change in focus from the storm to a solitary sapling.
