May be abstract. Maybe not. I guess it's how long you look at it!

Yep. Apparently, from the looks of him he stays ready all the time. I notice that the ground around the trunk has been really hot recently. Another clue.
Is he a Redwood? If so, with her being a Chestnut Oak, I bet that's where the Red Oak comes from. Red"Wood" would especially apply to him.

I know there are lots of "Pregnant Tree" deniers out there. However, IRJim is a believer since he's apparently having an affair with a palm tree.
Also, a lot of "Tree Huggers" would agree with me. Yeah, I guess I will have to wait till I get to Heaven to get any rewards for trying to get the truth out there.
I just hope that this baby Chestnut Oak is not born on Halloween. If it is, I'm sure that a "Devil's Walking Stick" and a "Witch Hazel" will try to take it for some sort of sacrifice. I'm also sure that "Old Hickory" and "General Sherman Sequoia" will have troops on standby to keep that from happening.
There's a black helicopter landing my front yard. I need to go. It's probably the Nobel Prize people. I may not have to wait till heaven after all.

I have suspected for years that tree seedlings are born and do not come from acorns, etc. This Chestnut Oak proves my theory.
I am on standby now for my Nobel Prize or any other awards coming from the scientific community. To whom it may concern: Yes, I will accept cash.
Preferably gold coin.
I tried posting this picture yesterday but had problems. Apparently, someone out there doesn't want this new discovery to get out.

Good shots! In the first one of the dead pine, I know exactly where that is on the BRP! I remember when it still had some needles on it!
I can be there from home in 15-20 minutes.

I attempted to post this yesterday. Apparently, the operator malfunctioned.

I thought all mining holes were "shafts". I learned something new today. That's a good day!
Crawling in a mine "adit" in the winter in bear country? Your dog is a genius! He's looking at you like, "Don't yell for me, Dude!"

Great picture! I've been there. I have a friend who owns a place in Buena Vista. Love that area! :thumbup:

redfordl,

You might want to take a look at the "Trigger Sticks" by Primos.
I have one of the monopods and love it. They also have tripods.
You can get better prices from Cabela's, etc.
