I continually discover new natural areas on your blog that make me want to travel to see them. <br /><br />Interesting about fire being part of the cycle of these trees, as that is true of oaks on the prairie as well. Every spring in this area there are hundreds of controlled prairie burns as folks who are restoring this eco-sysytem recreate that natural phenom.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-64796534306509566822010-04-27T07:16:47.755-04:002010-04-27T07:16:47.755-04:00Janet,

With the rigidness of those pines, I could imagine getting lost in them.<br /><br />Pam,<br />What a treasure to have that old lumber. I hope you have something special planned for it. The Blackwater choir was singing pianissimo Thursday, but the birds more than made up for it, one was so loud I kept expecting to look up and see some kind of monkey.<br /><br />Ruth,<br />The first picture is one of my favorites too. It is very accurate of what the place looks like.<br /><br />Georgia,<br />I would have to agree with you.<br /><br />Phillip,<br />I read something about the tour and that prompted me to visit. I can't imagine the traditionally well-dressed tour attendees walking through the barrens swatting insects.<br /><br />James,<br />These visits are the highlight of my off-line world.<br /><br />Sweet Bay,<br />I imagine there may be a few of these trees in the Sandhill area.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-88566803531008106712010-04-24T10:21:31.861-04:002010-04-24T10:21:31.861-04:00Pine Barrens are a wonderful habitat aren't th...Pine Barrens are a wonderful habitat aren't they?

I'd like to plant one out front, in front of my fence (on a corner) - although I fear years from now that I'd regret it. There is a small 'grove' of them at Hampton Park downtown, put there to provide needles for local basket makers. What a history those trees have!<br /><br />I have 500 board ft of longleaf pine (salvaged) in storage for my house one day - it was in an old Christian bookstore downtown on King Street and in someone's garage for years and years. Some of the boards are 20' long.<br /><br />And black water - as good as any church choir!Pamhttp://www.talesfromthelaboratory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-42138352572927384982010-04-23T13:33:14.476-04:002010-04-23T13:33:14.476-04:00Such a beautiful day you had Les.
