@ess77 Believe me, every tree lost in the forest around us is gut wrenching and deeply felt. Two sides of our property are state forest and we got word last year that logging rights have been sold. My husband and I are living on pins and needles (pine) in hopes that it isn’t clear cut! We have 100 year old huge Red and White pines... just thinking of their demise makes me ill.
I can feel your agony over the loss of the old cypress and oaks. What a tragedy...reminds me of “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot. With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin’ hot spot...”. Sad.

But we are truly blessed with a plethora of wildlife and serenity. It really is a slice of heaven, Elizabeth. I’m happy to share some photos. My camera is always at the ready. ☺️

For today’s enjoyment...😉 A little tree frog, Wood duck and one of the beaver trees! This one was a good foot in diameter right on the shore. Grrr.

@loribmt I’m waiting to see the quilt you’re going to make! Gorgeous photos! Are you the photographer?

I love these pictures but I sure don’t see them outside my window! Here’s what I’m ‘enjoying.’

@loribmt This year we got a 3-week permit to gather slash and downed small trees from the BLM land. It is an hour drive in 4WD Jeep hauling utility trailer. The views are truly majestic, seeing wave upon wave of timber march along ridgelines. They have clearcut some large swaths, but I do understand the concept of responsible harvesting. They are not building in these backlands.

Looks like we might be eagle-watching in our nearby trees! Mated pair is trying to build a nest! Yippee!
