Today it's raining. We are still in the throes of winter and this is usually the time when rain comes to melt most of the snow. I'm not tricked by this stunt, however. I know that more snow will cover the green grass and bushes.
For #treetuesday I'd like to honor green plants and trees.
In the first two photos there are nests in the trees. They are quite large and show the beginning of tent caterpillar infestation.
The caterpillars eat the foilage and leave the tree bare. Fortunately, they don't threaten the life of the trees. It's grossly disturbing, though, to walk under a tree that has thousands of 2 inch caterpillars crawling and seeing the large silken shelters or webs they make for protection.
And here is something to cleanse your eyes from that sight! Thankfully, this area wasn't infested.
