Ivy rings

Ivy infested tree.

The ivy in this tree had almost reached the crown, but not quite. Two other volunteers put an ivy ring around it Sunday, Sept. 2nd. In a month or so, we hope it looks like this:

Successful ivy ring.

This tree had a survival ring put around it in April 2011.

Spring Photos

I actually took some photos the other day that I like. No, seriously, that hasn’t happened for months.

Mind you, I’m not implying they’re good or anything, just that I like them. ;>
