Yes, it's another quiz day. I never used to pay any attention to the bark of trees, but I've learned that you can very often identify a tree by the bark alone. That said, young bark is different from mature bark, and old tree bark may be different from either of those. Here is a selection of trees of about the same age. First try... see if you can identify them "cold."
Underneath the pictures, I'll give you multiple choice options to make the task a little easier. Come back tomorrow for the answers.
A:
B:
C:
D:
E:

Here are the multiple choice if you'd like a little help:
A: (1) Slippery Elm (2) Sugar Maple (3) Green Ash
B: (1) Green Ash (2) Shagbark Hickory (3) Basswood
C: (1) Eastern Hemlock (2) Norway Spruce (3) Sugar Maple

Good luck! I hope you will play- nobody is grading the papers, and you can all have stickers and cookies.
In other news: I continued to work on projects. I now have 600 photos in the database. That does not mean they are all properly categorized, but they are at least entered with labels and dates. I have a total of 13 chapters of News from Dead Mule Swamp recorded. I walked.
