Like Joyce Kilmer, I adore trees.
There are many species around Bon Bon Pond—most importantly, the
majestic oak savannah which rings the water. These hard woods are the heart and soul of the
area as they secure the shoreline plus provide food and shelter for the
wildlife.
Even after its life has ended, the mighty oak continues its service to nature, both attracting insects to feed the wild birds and offering its trunk for roosting/nesting cavities. Unless a deceased oak directly threatens the house, it is never removed but rather left to perform its invaluable service to the ecosystem and awe inspire us with its God-given beauty.

Wonderful photographs. Every tree has a personality and a story.
