actually it's two trees. they're intertwined. different areas on the outside of the whole thing are different kinds of tree. a Mulberry has grown up inside of a Hackberry. it's a very old arrangement I don't know how old they are. I would say a minimum of a hundred years though. when the mulberries are ripe it seems to be the time for the Cedar Waxwings to fly through. a few times I've seen them up there. one of my favorite Birds.
@hankster We get them feeding on the mountain ash berries in the winter sometimes hundreds at a time.
@HeathenFarmer one time several years ago there was a storm and thousands came through drinking in the puddles after it was over.... looked like a dream.

Posted by HathacatThere's nothing like seeing a green sea turtle soaring along in the great blue. Photo by © Jean-Philippe Leroux There is something so soothing about this picture.
Posted by sc62Day trip to the lake last weekend. I spent most of an afternoon next to this lily patch. It was such a nice, refreshing mini retreat.
