I know that the title probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But if you could see the state of my lovely trails right now you'd cry with me! All of the glorious trees that reached so high to the sky and where so bold and beautiful are now battered, broken, and in dismay.
If you really want another opinion you can ask for her's.

All of these poor trees have been through WAY too much this year... And that doesn't even include the inhabitants of these wooded areas! First it was the flood this spring which was dubbed "the worst in the history of the region" and now everything has had to suffer through an ice storm that was also dubbed "the worst in more than a quarter century"!! This is a rediculously active year for weather here in the Central Plains.
But I guess it really isn't all that bad... It's been good for the crops, all the moisture I mean. The photographers of this area have been having a ball! But then again a lot of people where still recovering from losing everything in the flood when this ice storm hit.... And now they must deal with this tragic event too.

As for me and all of my friends we are doing ok. It's not great by any means but it's not truly distestable either.

I just hope that I don't get bashed on too hard for my beginner's photography with my mom's new camera!
