We were learning some basics of trail maintenance from Dave. On our way, we saw...
 |
| These oak leaves are huge...they need to capture as much sun as they can, since the tree is in a shady area. |
 |
| Maybe the swelling on this tree is a gall. I didn't see it on the other trees. |
 |
| This very large tree fell parallel to the walking path, so it gets to decompose in peace. |
 |
| When it fell, a fence post it had grown around was laid bare. I wonder how old the fence post is. |
 |
| Osage orange trees |
 |
| Osage orange stumps...apparently, these have been here for decades and show no signs of rot. |
 |
| I finally got to see this marker. |
 |
| A Marbled Orb Weaver (Araneus marmoreus)...wow. |
