Downed Tree Highlights Snowy Greenway Walk


When the lovely, harmless 3 inch fluff ended on a Saturday morning, I took off for my favorite sight-seeing greenway, Buckeye Trail from Milburnie Road. At the edge of Rollingwood, Crabtree has carved out a tall bluff (at least for this part of Raleigh), and at the end of this picture post you will see a snowy tree which has fallen off this bluff on to the greenway.

This tree had a monstrously huge box elder beetle gall on its side before being cut down.
