    A couple days after it's been cut, the end grain of red alder is one of the best colors of spring. The pic in the truck was right after I cut it, before the color came out. The other pic was two days later. 20200421_150809.jpg 20200424_060716.jpg

    That is something. It is always amazing to see all the different types of trees that show up here. Pretty cool stuff.

    Nice stuff. I wish we had alder on the east side of the Cascades.

    I guess you'll just have to survive with fir and pine that's ready to burn when it hits the ground, and leaves no ash.

    Speaking of color, I also see plenty of green there. Looks good.

    Pretty neat . I just chopped and noodled a load of holly. The chips turn blue. First I'd ever seen of that.
