Yesterday was crap weather, but I decided to head out anyway. I called it my "go east safari", because last time I went west. I headed for a little park I love called Townsend Park that has this meandering creek named "Honey Creek". Sackem frassem - of course, all the roads were chained off. I could see from the road one of it's handful of meadows that is surrounded by very tall white pines. The meadow is semi marsh, and I noticed a young white pine had ventured into the marsh and was growing. It is likely 5-6 years old and about 25 feet tall. So, White Pine became my first subject.
Here is the marshy meadow from my vantage, and the small pine is dead center. The creek wanders in from the right and zigzags left through the meadow, and then exits on the far right.

Here is that near by mature pine in IR, and the meadow in IR both black & white which makes the young tree stand even more.
