Relative Something

[John and Cyndie are currently on vacation in Iceland with our friends, Barb & Mike Wilkus. While we are gone, I am featuring the results of the big tree survey I did in August on our property.]

…

The fourth tree I measured is a stone’s throw from the chicken manure spot, toward the middle of this section of woods, away from the trails.

It is also a maple tree. I referenced it as “swing arm” because of a massive lower limb that stretches out and absolutely begs to have a swing hung from it. I would need to clear out a bunch of small trees in the vicinity to make a swing viable. Maybe someday?

Measuring a circumference of 117 inches, this maple calculates to approximately 167 years old.
