I mentioned our fierce spring winds about a week ago here. Our plum tree wasn’t the only one in the area that took it hard.
We saw a number of damaged trees in the Dungeness Recreation Area on a walk a few days later.
These native willows aren’t the strongest trees around but the wind still has to be pretty robust to cause this sort of damage.
Looks not unlike the remnants of a hurricane down in these parts. I hate wind! Especially on the golf course. I have a hard enough time trying to figure out where my ball goes, but when it’s windy, well, it’s all guess work! 🙂
I agree – we’ve had some really fierce winds – now let’s hope for some really great sunshine – I’m ready – are you?
That is some serious damage!
Our volunteers that do the hiking trails were busy here also.
Mother Nature at work….good, bad and otherwise. Actually, I kinda like that tunnel of downed limbs…
Strong wind often leaves a toll on our trees and shrubs, too.
