The forest on Lavender Mountain is a mixed hardwood and pine. The hardwoods include lots of oak and maple, with a few poplars and others. I have been noticing this particular pair of trees for as long as I have been taking the dogs for their walks on Fouche Gap Road.
It’s a pine in the embrace of a maple.
It would be interesting to see this pair in 50 or 100 years, if they lived that long.
What a beautiful embrace and a beautiful photo.
Robin — It’s a neat thing, and I really do wish I could see it many years from now.
