Young giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in my hometown in the west of Germany:
Learned just today what this tree is. Don't know exactly since when it's here, I suppose about 20 years. I know, it can become very old and very tall. Maybe it's still here in 1000 or 2000 years. Then it will be much bigger.
I moved in here last November, and did some honeysuckle suppression work then, and continuing it now. I went through the small area I cleared last fall/winter to see what's growing now that there isn't a canopy of honeysuckle out-shading it.
Short hike up whiteface mountain this morning.
I was trying to get mt Washington in the background but the snow was screwing up the pic
@03RN A much shorter hike up nearby Boulder Loop Trail with the pups on Saturday.
(mustache is gone now)
Thanks, I'm always looking for hikes my son can do.Originally Posted by S Jenks

For us there is always this period after everything has exploded green, about two weeks, where the green is a really iridescent bright color, then it sorta morphs to a regular less vibrant green. That period has passed down at the level I live, and certainly up in Birmingham where I work, but it is just hitting its stride up above 1600 feet in the Talladega National Forest. I cannot think of a better way to burn a left over about to expire vacation day like I did today. TNF, Pinhoti Trail, Trammell section, Rebecca Mountain.
@snow white
I know I said shoot but if you want to go fishing let me know too.
My neighbor caught the double rainbow we had after the rainstorm the other day.

Absolutely. I can show you a cool spot on Wentworth that's worth checking out.
