BEFORE Irene

I Love my Trees.....    I know they are subject to some really harsh winds for a long time (up to 18 hours they are saying)   
So to honor them I have taken their pictures.. here they all are BEFORE Irene!

I noticed they have a purple glow... very interesting... 

 WAY back there are the OAKS

 Sure tomorrow this grass will be LEAVE covered  that fence is 6 feet.. so those OAKS are HUGE

 The River Birch and Maple

 Looking into the garden.. the leaf less dwarf flowering crab-apple that was infested with Winter Moth last fall 

 This rain barrel was EMPTY this morning!

The Koi

Lastly the Garden.. BEFORE IRENE

I'll post more of these area AFTER IRENE passes..
