Description
After finishing number 1133 Mighty Oak, I simply turned to face northeasterly. This is a view of the northeastern part of our forest. It has never been extensively logged and is full of very large oak, beech, maple and hickory - even lots of butternut trees. The open field in the foreground has deep but wet soils and was probably logged to built the homestead buildings which lie a few hundred meters to the south. Cattle grazing has kept the trees from coming back. With our arrival and the absence of the cows, ash trees are emerging throughout this field. I also planted about 500 black walnuts in 2007 but in 2011 there was still no sign of them yet. The emerald green ash borer has been seen in eastern Ontario and these ash trees will be threatened. As an updated note, that field is full of black walnut trees in 2017. I suspect all 500 of the nuts sprouted.
It was a cool spring day with diminishing northerly winds. I was painting looking northeasterly with the breeze on my left. The sun occasionally broke through the turbulent stratocumulus cloud to warm my back. The temperature was supposed to be plus 8 Celsius but it felt much cooler!
