#TreeTuesday... An Awesome O.O.O!
Odd Old Oak
Wandering around my woods is one of my favorite pastimes. Seeing what is happening around me. I tend to live life with the wonder and exuberance of a five year old.
This Odd Old Oak caught me 100% by surprise. It was a mere 50 yds from where we built camp upon arrival here. We lived in camp for 8 1/2 months, I wandered in explorer mode regularly, yet Never saw this tree.
Here it is as I came upon it for the first time.
A up close of the approach side...the huge exposed root crown covered on moss is what caught my eye.
There are so many interesting features on one tree
This tree seems to have been a beast. There are a few clues remaining that it may have been cut down.
The knotty bits form a heart from some perspectives.
If this tree has been logged, I wonder if it was rejected with all this going on, or perhaps it was more valued.
I share this last series with a story.
I took these photos with the hope of finding a way to make a tall panoramic style image. Many weeks and several tries later I have learned a lot about working with photos, but alas, no luck on linking them together.
Here they are as I shot them. I hope you enjoy.
Happy #TreeTuesday!

Im just learning about oak trees. They grow so big 😮 its crazy. Im from hawaii so so much of the states is new and i too look at the world around me like a 5 year old haha
Coming from Wisconsin and heating with wood Oak is an old friend of mine. It was our main heating wood.
Happy to meet another traveling their path in wonder!
Here is one you might like. This us an Oak on the new land we bought at the lake. :)
Apparently it first rubbed the bark off, then grew back together. Kind of like the eye on a needle.
That is so neat! It almost looks like two trees that fell in love and became one!
The oddities are my favorite. I clearly remember a moment when I was young when I turned that corner. I found myself wanting to remove a tree I randomly saw because it had not grown like I thought it should, it wasn't even my tree, not even near my house...Ummm.
I just found my post topic for the day... Going to finish this thought there. I'll tag you!
Fun, LOL!
:)
I love finding old oaks like this, or any tree with a weird growth. Burls are my favorite tree deformity to look for.
