This big leaf #maple#tree suffered wildfire damage. It's still providing #life & nutrients to other plants, trees & fungi. There's no such thing as no value in a dead tree, left to be, in a forest.
Forests have far more value than just timber dollars. Looking at forests, with only monetary profit eyes, is the epitome of short sighted mindsets.
Maples showing their fall colors are one of my favorite things about fall. This watercolor was inspired by the many colors that maple leaves can turn in fall.
Serious thunderstorms and wind last night. It looks like the River Birch snapped in the wind, or lost root hold. Not looking forward to close inspection. #PlantMoreTrees #Baltimore
On inspection, #Birch and #Katsura were unharmed; a rotting silver #Maple split about 3 meters up, and oddly landed #Square on top of a fence post not a rail. Pi or Fibonaccci or Bernouli?
I see the blue sky behind the maple leaves, but when I showed the finished painting to my hubby, he said he sees the leaves floating on aqua blue water in a pond or pool.
What do you see?
What's that on the maple leaf? 🧐
Found it this morning.
I had no idea, my first thought was that it was a fungus - but a search revealed these spots to be Maple Eye Galls caused by the Ocellate Gall Midge. 😮

Small birdseye maple and wenge dovetailed box I made about six months ago. This was my first attempt at a wooden hinge.
