Page 4 of 7

A variety of trees all grow in the same area which makes for a colorful landscape.
[Multiple types of trees --some evergreen and some leaf-bearing-- growing along a hillside by a lake.]

Trees reflected in The Tarn (a lake).
[Light and dark green trees on the hillside reflected in a lake rimmed with light grey stones.]

The power of Mother Nature
[Needleless everygreen tree snapped completely apart about two foot off the ground.]

A closer view of the prior scene
[Closeup of the inside of the snapped tree. Looks paperlike rather than like tree rings.]

Many aspens in the park
[Tall, very white trunks amid the dark trunks of evergreens.]

Newly sprouted tree leaves along Park Loop Road
[Light green leafed trees lining both sides of the road.]

Hillside beside Beaver Dam Pond
[At least a half a dozen different types of trees leafing in different colors along the side of the pond.]

Looking toward Beech Cliffs in the distance.
[Looking skyward under a canopy of trees just budding with new leaves.]

Trees growing along the trail to The Tarn.
[Mostly tree trunks with leaves under foot, but some light green leafing trees in the background.]

Thicket of trees along the Wonderland trail
[Evergreen tree trunks and limbs so thick one could barely walk through the area with damaging something.]

Naturally peeling birch bark
[Birch tree trunk with a section approximately 9 vertical inches peeling away from the trunk looking like an open book as the peeling section is open at least 5 inches horizontally.]

Variety of trees with Frenchman Bay in the background
[Several photos stitched together showing at least a half dozen different types of trees. Islands in the bay visible in the background.]

Echo Lake parking lot with evergreens above the beginning-to-leaf trees
[One dark green sedan in narrow, tree-lined parking lot.]
