Popular Post Smallpatch Posted February 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yep, I find when I get down to the almost done portion of shaping this stuff I need to slow down and smell the roses, kinda...step back and observe, so, I find if I start an other picture I give myself more time to think what should I do in slow motion more or less.. So this is the next picture that has me thoughts..me thoughts on how nature does its thing whether good or bad, it works its magic of destruction like it or not.. So while I'm running this picture through my little brain I am still deciding how much more I can grind off here and there off the other picture and have things still definable to the general public of one of two total peoples... Amazing how this tree has wrapped around this obstruction....Fruitless mulberry grows like that here in my part of this world...but have no idea where this picture was taken???

Artie Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Makes me think of a scene from Harry Potter. (Wife likes those movies, you know how that works out) Cal, p_toad and Gunny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Smallpatch Posted February 18, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Al we planted some fast growing Fruitless Mulberry trees at the go-cart track while building it and you are about right on the age of the trees.. When they were 20 years old we had lots of shade but the roots would grow out of the ground in places and make people trip over them..Our customers were not too happy about falling over them but said the shade would equal out falling.. This was in Odessa, Tx which at the time I think we had more trees on the four acres than Odessa had in the whole city...Summers have lots of over 100 degree days there so we did get folks bringing their kids out to the track so the parents could get some heat relief.....Maybe the reason I didn't get an court summons for those roots????

Popular Post Smallpatch Posted February 20, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I feel like an inch worm but at least I am doing something. I work ten minutes on one picture then I remember something on the other one and drop things and go over to the other...
