Land of Giant Fallen Trees

Cocoa, Kibble, and I made another trek to the beach this morning. Look at these giant trees that have fallen down the eroding bluffs!

Timmmmm....berrrrrrrrrr!

Chuckbert's recent blog post reminded me that I had these pictures on my computer. After fighting my mac to give 'em up so I can use it (I hate iPhoto! It is the worst program I've ever used!), I submit them to you.

We took this ginormous ash tree down in December 2007. It was destroying our driveway and our neighbor hated the leaves come January. It was a hard decision, but we decided it had to go.

The workmen worked very fast! It was down in a day, and they came the next day to grind the stump. It was raining that day, and I was a little nervous about someone getting hurt. I guess they know what they're doing!

I decided to take some pictures last minute. I didn't get the final shots, but you saw the fungus (sorry, slime mold) helping to complete the circle of life by sucking on the leftover chips.

Some of these photos are rather dark, but after messing around with just trying to get them to use them, I didn't have the energy to fool with them.























By the way, we're waiting for when our tree no longer dominates the Google Maps image of our neighborhood!
