It’s on fire! |
||
|
|
Not really –
Volunteers perform
which
|
||
|
|
one unique Nature Center for your viewing & educational pleasures |
||
|
|
Pristine
or
not? |
||
|
|
fitting subject for wall painting . . . |
||
|
|
however . . . there are times when some direction of nature has to be checked |
||
|
|
with the Nature Center training building in the background – peeking around the culled “deadwood” |
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Did Nature dictate that items be clean cut and shaved to dirt level?
Maybe management could enlighten us!
|
||
|
.
|
let’s hope these beauties escape the “clean shave” stroke of the rake |
||
|
|
fortunately . . . for this tree only a few limbs got the treatment from the “Silent Saw”
|
||
|
“Quietly, slowly and methodically I slither thru tree limbs!”
|
Vicious looking little sucker with more teeth than a “saw tooth” seagul
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
no bucket lift truck needed if you have good climbing shoes |
||
|
|
“Tree Monkey” must have ditched me as I only boosted him the first 7 feet |
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nature learning at it best! along with mowed trails for your walking pleasure
the center urges you to not roam freely thru the grass etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do visitors enjoy spending time at a Nature center to view backsides of buildings cluttered with vehicles? |
||
|
|
fear not . . . old #9 is still standing tall
|
||
|
|
my producer recommends I do a follow up take of this shot at a later date for publication |
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wonder what it’ll look like in 2008 & ‘09, ‘10 & ?
check back . . . might have an update! |

definition: 1. the material world, as surrounding humankind and existing independently of human activities. 2. the natural world as it exists without human beings or civilization. 3. the elements of the natural world, as mountains, trees, animals, or rivers. 4. natural scenery.
|
somethings gone wrong here!
the sign and definitions don’t seem to agree with some of the pictures. |
||
|
|
Marshmellows anyone? |
||
|
“ant hills” in middle of burned area |
smoke eaters to the rescue
many variety of grasses appear soon after |
||
|
“ Ant City” look close . . . you might see ants getting a sun tan |
survival of the fittest!
ants came thru – just fine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
more later . . . . . as the “Silent Saw” does its slithering function . . . |
|
||
|
