There are many dead and lifeless trees along Highway 74 and Deep Canyon. Unfortunately, my favorite ones are all along the road where there are no turnouts, but I found these along another dirt road last weekend. I could spend HOURS just observing them and what's in and around them, animals like blue jays and hawks. But, my time is limited, so back home I drove last Sunday. However, next weekend, with the promise of continued spring-like weather, I'll have more time to explore! There are a couple of trees I'll have to hike to in order to take photos of them, but I'm ready!! There is just so much to explore up in these mountains and I can't WAIT for the weekend! I would love to find an owl up in one of these trees, but I haven't so far...Nature Notes for February 2, 2012. To visit Nature Notes, please go to this link:

I like these trees and I sure some bird has a nesting cavity there. A nice home for the critters. Great pic's. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice to have that urge to explore. The trees look very sculptural.
ReplyDeleteI am constantly taking pics of bare trees. So many of them I call VAn Gogh trees because when they are bare you can see their wonderfully curved branches.
