@corinnec Thank you so much, Corinne. It's really an illusion that they're dense. Some trees are close together, but they are further apart than the eye can see.
@dkellogg Thank you very much, David. LOL! It is confusing, but I have to think it might be the weather forecaster's personality - like a glass half full/half empty thing. =)
@wakelys Thank you, Susan.
