[LRflex] Re: Death of a tree - birth of a season

Aram,
     Good shots.  Reminded me of bringing a tree almost that 
big back to Connecticut from a bit south of Brattleboro Vt. tied 
to the top of a Toyota Tercel.  You could see tree (mostly 
all you could see) in every direction from inside.  We could only 
go about 50, and forget 5th gear. :-)
     I like the the frost photos a lot, and also the 2nd river picture.
Thanks for posting them.
Charlie.
