the next two shots are at a buddys house took a tree down a few days ago for him as a wedding gift ...now i know i dont have my hard hat on i got to his house and seemed to have forgotten the darn thing so please dont harp on me for it i know it was a bad choice but was 2 hrs away from home

this shot here was taken a few yrs back. The white pine in this picture has watched me grow up its back in the woods where me and my buddys usta hang out when we where young i think i probly drank my first beer under this big guy. i visit him every year and the town i grew up in is named after it...White Pine Michigan

The spruce bent over after about 2 feet of heavy wet snow early last may its cracked pretty bad in the middle but seems to be healing a bit i have been watching it to see how nature takes its course on it.
and as for the snorkler it was an email sent to me but had to ad it for some fun. Itried to get some shots of lake superior yesterday but snow comen down way to heavy to get any good pics will try as soon as this weather subcides.
