Trees from a distance

[JeffL]

I wanted to say sweet gum, but hadn't considered compound leaves. Hmmm.

Keep trying??? A certain widely hunted big game animal goes crazy for the fruit.(and it's acorns)

Sorry I meant it's not acorns. My mind is faster than my fingers.

 

[stubcut]

[zale]

Can I get half credit for the Eastern Red Cedar in the background?

 

[theXman]

[theXman]

Persimmon it is! I knew the last hint would give it away.

 

[robinia]

I didn't have the foogiest from that clue. I even googled "what trees do elk eat?"

 

[stubcut]

Deer love those things. One of the best places to hang a bow-stand is near one of these trees. Some people make a "persimmon pudding" also. (

) I don't care for it.

I need to download some more pics so somebody else post something.

 

[theXman]

I won you S O B, so I'm posting tonight when i get a chance.

That's a water snake!


How big is that one?



My yard has several of these beautiful 6 foot long snakes:

Love them!

[theXman]

yes Diane, you are CORRECT!

I really like snakes and just about every animal for that matter, but I do catch and relocate these guys when i see them in my pond. they eat many frogs and fish and it's fun catching them to see if i can keep from getting bitten.

one of the most aggessive snakes here in my opinion. hard not to get bitten, but this one did not get me. Nor did a black racer that was very hot and fast a week earlier.

i did post that picture on purpose, just to see if anyone would yell at me.

okay, here is a stupid tree picture from today.

Laburnum - goldenchain tree



your northern watersnake is non-venomous


-Diane

 

[theXman]

No, not golden chain.

and the non-venomous "hint" is insulting.

that snake only about 3 to 3.5 feet, btw, you asked earlier.

so many people that see them think they are a copperhead. Everyone always jumps to poisonous don't they... guess that's why u thought i might have thought that too.

[opposablethumb]

Acer negundo

 

[tomthetreeman]

Fraxinus pennsylvanica perhaps?

That was my thought.. leaf looks right, opposite branching, except in a place with such a great variety of trees, why would anyone bother growing it? We are kinda stuck with loads of these here for lack of bettr choices. That and F. pennsylvanica.
