The snow flattened everything
A Spring Nor’easter shook our state this week. Walking down our road, I was amazed at how thoroughly everything was flattened. I ended up shaking the snow off of almost 50 trees crossing the road to get them to pop up out of the snow. Several others had to be cut off and removed. The wetlands that borders our road was flattened. Usually birds nest in that overgrowth.
On the day of the storm, when it finally died down and I felt safe walking without getting pummeled by falling branches, I only had my iPhone with me. Oddly the birds were still chirping as I cleared trees off the road. Life goes on.
Here is that set of unedited iPhone photos—in reverse order of waning daylight, followed by the GFX photos I took the next day after we were able to clear the trees. Usually in the wide shot with the power lines, there are trees and bushes that block my view of the distant treeline. They’re all bent to the ground. Hopefully some will recover and the birds will continue to thrive.
