I took this picture on 10-26 down at Ninilchik Beach, a couple days after a really high tide and storm surge. the storm did a little bit of damage to one of the roads. Lots of dead things wash up on shores of beaches when there is a storm and a high tide. There was a lot of other driftwood on the beach but I liked the way these long branches were reaching for the sky. Plus the sky was just so blue.
In contrast this image is of a willow in Bottenintnin Lake. Look closely at it you will see that it is budding, budding on October 30th like it thinks it is the end of February. I hope it survives, a lot of the trees were budding around the lake. I know we have been slightly warmer than normal, but for the trees to start to bud this late, I am beginning to wonder what kind of winter we are going to have.
Here is a close up of the buds.
In less than three hours it will be Halloween, the 31st of October, so here to enjoy the sunset a set of three trees. This picture was taken along the road to Homer, at one of the pull outs just past Clam Gulch. The picture was taken on June 19th.
@old-guy-photos for sponsoring the Tree Tuesday Tag, I have had fun each time I have made a tree tuesday post.
