   So good to see that tres like this are numbered; (someone is keeping track of them!).
   It’s exciting the way the wind is blowing…north? I’d like to run with it as long as I can, and then
   be a passenger.

   How high does the tree numbering go? There’s no map that could possibly show what I’d
   like to see from ground level.
   Back later! This has been the freshest air!

     Dave, thanks for whirling and whistling my mind around. I’ve always known from your poetry that you see the world in a way no one else does.

     I’ve counted a good number of all the birds I’ve seen but not the trees! THAT tree, though, I have been photographing for almost 20 years. There is a concrete trail marker up at Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway (also now part of the Mountains-to-Sea trail). Linda and I walk that trail several times a year, sometimes more than once a month. Every time we pass I set my camera on the trail marker and take a portrait. That particular photo is from 2008. I’ve labeled the more recent ones with their date rather than a number, which was sort of random and related to when I uploaded them to the blog. There’s a portrait at the close of every blog post. And more to come!

     Thanks, Friend! Bill
