Maple Bones




The big maple trees north of the lake house have good bones. By bones, I mean the structure of the tree -- trunk, limbs, branches.

Winter's bareness reveals more in the north land. You can see houses set back in wooded areas. In the summer, leaves hide buildings from view.

In winter, the outline of a tree's structure is readily apparent. We have been watching several lower limbs on this tree, thinking that there is some decay and that the tree might need pruning.
