Photo Hunt #41 Wild
Here's the
jack
pine tree I was telling you about the other
day. The wild
weather has taken a toll on this tree. The weight of the
ice from the ice storm and the subsequent snow has bent the tree completely
over. There is no sign of a thaw in sight either. I hope the tree
will right itself when we get milder weather. If it survives I might have
to stake it, even though the tree is fifteen to twenty feet
tall.Photo Hunt 41 Wild

Ewwww! He looks a goner to me. Some wild weather for sure!
Irish Church Lady - It doesn't look very good, does it?
Thats a great photo! we just had an ice storm here in Michiagn too, lost power for 1 1/2 days...it was beautiful, but sooo not good! I think your beautiful tree is a goner though. My photo is up, please visit soon
Poor old tree.. I hope it makes it through winter. :)
Oh my that is wild. Wild weather for sure.
I had a huge tree (about 200 foot) fall down in my backyard about ten years ago. What a mess! I had nightmares about it for weeks afterwards.
Shame about your tree - it looks quite beautiful.
Mine is up....Happy Saturday, Barb!
Yes the wild weather has been in Vancouver too. Great one.
Hokey Smokes!!! I hope that tree springs back up for you when you thaw out. ... And I hope the thaw comes soon for you!
Poor tree! I hope it can bounce back. There sure has been some wild weather lately!
My daughter from OK, has been going on about the terrible ice storms, as well. Poor tree, it really is a shame and I hope you are able to help it revive itself this Spring!
Oh my terrible, we just had a very strong storm here in northern Europe, 41 people killed so far by fallen trees mostly but also roofs.
The storm was indeed wild!
I will Exercise for Comments!
Sunflower
lots of wintry stuff on that tree - great photo.. hope the weather improves lots for you!! take care and have a great weekend :)
Ice storms over there, tropical storms over here. Tough weather we're having for some reason.
Hope all is well there. No power cuts at your neck of the woods is good to hear.
I'm anxious to know the outcome of the birds in Australia you mentioned and will be back here again to find out what happened.
Since its cold out there, here's a minute for your exercise.
If Jack rights itself back up, I hope you will post another picture.
Glad to read that you didn't lose power like the past. Very sorry about the tree.
:)
Wow! It really does look like a goner. We keep waiting for snow, even a few flakes... no such luck yet.
Mine is up too.
We were hit with that wild weather too! Mother Nature is definitely in charge.
Take care,
Connie
My photo is up.
Oh no - so sad that it got bent like that. I am not certain that is will survive it. I hope it does though...
Happy Saturday Hunt
Poor tree! I hope it can be saved!
Wow looks like a crazy storm, great shot.
Mine is up too.
Wow - that is some weather you all are having there!!!
That's a great photo! We just had a bad storm/hurricane two days ago here in Germany. Maybe you heard that in the news. Some trees just didn't stand the wind and broke down. One lays directly on the way to our carpark!!! I really was a little frightened when we had that storm. I can't remember when we had it the last time. I guess I was a little child.
My photo is up too. Please stop by my blog and have a look!!
Have a nice weekend,
Sonny
I will exercise for comments!!
That makes me cold just looking at it! I hope things warm up for you soon and things calm down a bit.
Oh the poor thing. About your Friday Feast, it was a great feast. Well served. Didn't participate Friday's Feast and Photo Hunters as couldn't find time to do so. Time just enough for visiting.
Thanks for passing by.
Wow, talk about the power of nature...
Good luck getting it upright.
Wow, that sounds like some wild weather! That poor tree. Great photo though. I hope the weather improves for you soon.
Have a good weekend!
We lost a couple of trees this past week too.
Great photo!
Sorry about your tree. Looks like bonfire fuel. We lost a white pine.
Wow that is a wild shot! It looks to be sleeping on a bed of snow! And still so green! Great share!
My photo is up. Happy Saturday!
Great photo! That poor tree - I hope it manages to survive!
Great picture~we've had some pretty wild winds here. Thanks for coming by My Photo Blog.
Poor Jack, He's not looking very good. I would think his prognosis is poor.
Hope it rights itself too. I had a wind storm blow down a section of my privacy fence 6 years ago and bend a crepe myrtle over like this pine tree of yours. Got the fence builders out here and after they were done I kind of used a bungee cord to help hold the wounded myrtle to the fence for some support. These days Myrtle is thriving...when it's not icy and snowy that is...beautifully. Every year we get beautiful lavender colored blooms all over her. Smile.
It's still rooted? Wow, how amazing is that?!!!
Hope it survives.
Mine's posted. Come join me on my wild and crazy adventure.
Happy Saturday.
It always amazes me what a little ol' ice storm can DO to a neighborhood! This is a great shot Barb! I HOPE the tree does survive it!
Poor tree. It must have been too much for him. Nice entry.
Mine is up too.
re: Darly's alias...
usually we refer to our children as DD or DS for Dear Daughter or Dear Son.
My middle name means Dear Little One.
So the alias is my middle name shortened. Darly actually HATES it. She would rather I use part of her name. But I would rather be safe.
Oh your poor tree! There sure has been some nasty weather lately. Thanks for dropping by :)
I hate to tell you this, but this tree will not likely right itself. At this point, the root ball is involved and the roots are not nearly as elastic as the wood in the trunk. Even after the thaw (you know, the one after Mother's day:), the tree will stay in the horizontal position. It will probably even continue to live for awhile in that state. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
The wild weather got us too. Good photo.
Great choice for this weeks theme - it is stormy in Germany as well.
ROOOOAR! 2 tigers and a special tigger? Please visit my wild hunt @ Coffee 2 go - thank you!
Barb, Missy will have a "normal" coat in about a month... but I don't really know how long it will take her to get her beautiful looooong locks back again! I just hope he spends more time BRUSHING her now!
Poor tree!
It doesn't look too good!
Have a nice weekend, Barbara.
Margie

:) Hello, First time here.
You have some very nice posts!
Am sorry for the tree... :)
It's amazing what the "wild" force of mother nature can do. I hope it warms up soon!
