Two trees in the bog

Dead shore pine, Richmond bog.

Live birch, ditto.

Update: Hugh Griffith added a comment that deserves to be read as a part of this post. Therefore, I am reproducing it here:
In two pictures you have told the story of the bog. The shore pines are declining (along with the bog as a whole) and the birches (a genetic mish-mash of native paper birch and European species) are taking over.

Poor bog.
Thanks, Hugh.

    Hugh;

    Your comment was so appropriate that I reproduced it in the post proper. Thanks.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
