My World Tuesday - Broken Trees

For this week's My World Tuesday post I'm going to show the negative consequences of that heavy spring snow we had a couple of weeks ago, taken in Fox Run Park this weekend while walking the dog. Normally the trees do fine in the snow, but this time the snow was so wet and heavy that it damaged a lot of trees. You can see the results in this first picture, showing several trees and branches down.

Looking up, some of the trees simply snapped off half way up.

Some trees bent all the way over to the ground - here's a flexible one but I don't think it will recover.

Others snapped but are still barely connected.

It's sad to see but it's part of the natural cycles. We sometimes see the same thing from windstorms.
