The first support I pulled was surprisingly intact. Some thickness gone around the buried part and completely waterlogged, but still very strong. It was oak! Amazing stuff.

Would've probably lasted another decade. I thought maybe I'm wasting my time here, but the other two were not oak and crumbled away when applying slight leverage, so it was high time to do this.

Gonna dry out that oak one and re-use it for something.

A broken and rotten log that was buried in the soil. It was buried deeper but the rest broke off and was spongy and very weak. The bark at the edge is rotted away too and the rot extends upwards into the section above ground.
Part of the oak support, which had to be cut to remove it. About half a meter of it is dark brown and has lost ~2-3cm diameter, but the remaining material is still strong and it would not break even with the 1.5m lever on top. It was completely waterlogged though. The soil edge is clean and no rot extends upwards to the unburied part. There's some powderpost beetle damage near the top as well though.

Solitaire

This was captured in February during the middle of winter.
Camped in Yosemite Valley a snow storm moved through the valley dumping about 8 inches of snow.
As I made my way through the village in the morning I saw this fabulous snow covered oak tree and decided it would make a good subject for a photo. It's not really solitaire but it did stand out from al the other trees around.

Solitaire I captured this magnificent snow covered oak tree after a winter storm moved through Yosemite Valley overnight. The foreground of the image is an unbroken field of snow, pure as can be. The large oak tree is framed on both sides by a few smaller snow covered trees. The large oak towers over the other trees in the area. The branches are heavy with snow. The sky in the background is gray and overcast. This is a color image but the snow and low clouds give it an appearance of being a black and white image unless looked at closely you can see some color in the trunks of the trees.

The Cellon Live Oak

"The Cellon Live Oak is a Florida Co-Champion Live Oak named for its former owner, Ralph W. Cellon. The oak's circumference is 30 feet, it is 85 feet tall and its crown spread is 160 feet."

It has an 80 foot horizontal "spider" trunk that lays on the ground creating a natural pergola. There's even a picnic table amidst the branches! (not shown) In the past dozen years or so this amazing limb was cracked (over my shoulder to the left in photo) and is now supported by large poles. Amazingly after such an injury it remains very much alive! 🙂

🇬🇧 Last Friday, I found us a #hike that was supposed to be a loop (spotted it on official maps) but it turned out a part didn't exist (no path and we struggled in slopes and through brambles).
I always try to make the most of it, sometimes there are surprises... This time, we came across 2 young #stags that we happily photographed (but we zoomed in too much) without being spotted (well they don't see many people pass by there I think).
Further on, we saw 5 stags scurrying 30 m in front of us. They didn't flee in the opposite direction, we were silent and in the territory of a pack of #wolves, we might have come across some!
The hike began near a #ruined village and we soon came across a #source that charmed me.
The shape of the #tree emerging from the wall particularly captivated me! And further on we saw a centuries-old #oak.
In short, if you're coming for a stroll with me, beware, but try to enjoy even if it goes weird! 🙃

🇫🇷 Vendredi dernier je nous ai déniché une #randonnée qui était censée faire une boucle (repérée sur les carto officielles) mais il s'est avéré qu'une partie n'existait pas (pas de chemin et on a galéré dans la pente et les ronces).
J'essaie toujours de profiter, on a parfois des surprises... Cette fois, nous sommes tombés à l'aplomb de 2 jeunes #cerfs que nous avons allègrement photographiés (mais on a trop zoomé) sans se faire repérer (faut dire qu'ils ne doivent pas voir passer grand monde à cet endroit).
Plus loin, nous avons vu 5 cerfs détaler à 30 m devant nous. Ils n'ont pas fuit à l'opposé, on était silencieux et sur le territoire d'une meute de #loups, on en a peut-être croisé !
La rando commençait près d’un village en #ruines et nous avons vite croisé une source qui m'a charmée.
La forme de l’ #arbre sortant du mur m’a particulièrement captivée ! Et plus loin nous avons vu un #chêne pluri-centenaire.
Bref si vous venez en balade avec moi, méfiez-vous mais tâchez de profiter si ça part en cahuète !
