As ALK (alias the Duck) would say, and great write up.
It all started with a picture. I took this shot in 2008.
....... Then in 2013 a friend of mine mentioned he had some maple harvested from trees that had to be removed - wait for it - from the same park! ......
What did you load your camera with, bullets?
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
