This is one of the paddocks in my backyard..one of four trees that fell during that Sunday of Irene..there is nothing artistic about this image, just a straight shot with the G9 of the tree that smashed down the fence..I worked for three days straight cleaning up the debris with a chainsaw, which went bellyup when the chain came off, then a handsaw..dragged as many trees as possible with my old Ford tractor up into the woods..my husband was fortunate to be in Florida that week. But it gave me a chance to think, over a week without power, so I could sit and think and read with a flashlight...since I am not a tv watcher, not having tv meant nothing to me...but the quiet and dark nights, when I could really see the stars, were magical..and if I hadn't been so damn tired, it would have been even better...
what is strange is the fact that I didn't take any images except for broken trees and videos of the storm at its peak...however, I did take the following image just a few days before the storm:

Hi there! All paddocks back in use yet? Glad to hear you made the most out of the power outage. Maybe I'll see you on Thursday!
