POWER OF LIGHTING

LIGHTING.

I was standing at the back door looking out when

this one struck.  I did not know where it struck,

but it was obvious it was close.

A couple of days latter I spotted it.  The tree was

only about one hundred feet from the door I was

looking out.  Poor tree eventually died.  I did not

have any tree medicine.

I have lived here for forty five years now.  And

there has been at least three lighting strikes here

in that period of time.  The point of interest to me

is that all three of the strikes have been within

an area of about one hundred and fifty feet. 

ONE STRIKE

Just one strike of lightening did this.

In time the top half fell over crushing the fence.

Personally I am amazed at the power of a lightening

bolt.

WHAT IS THAT?

Now there is something that very few people ever see.

The inside of a hollow tree.  My little camera has revealed

another mystery to you.

NEIGHBOR NEEDS HELP

It was a nice day.
But the old dead tree could not wait any longer
and fell just before the neighbor went out to get
on his bike.

Only one scratch on the bike.

It had him thanking God for that.

But,
still he could not get out with any of his bikes.
That was why he called for me and my chain saw.

WHEEL TREE

Either the fruit of a wheel tree.

Or a big squirrel up to something.

MY PHOTO TEST NUMBER 1

I wanted to see the inside of the hollow tree.

So I stuck the camera in the hole.

Pointed it up and snapped.
