A few of you may remember this shot - https://365project.org/marlboromaam/drive-by-shooti/2021-03-19 when a portion of timberland was cut and cleared for lumber. You can see the loblolly pines are coming back after a few years. I'm sure they'll be clear cut again by the land owner in about another 15 to 20 years... unless the land is sold to a housing developer, and then it will be time for me to move!
@dkellogg Thank you so much, David. All the timberland around here is owned by one family. I fear that when the senior man is gone, the younger ones will sell. Seems to be happening to family farms around here as well. Sad times.
Beautiful shot and view. I sympathize with you about moving if the area is given up for development. It happened to me years ago and now buildings are growing taller and getting closer to my liking.

@joansmor Thank you, Joan.
@wakelys Yes, it's very good.
@larrysphotos Thank you, Larry.
@jeremyccc Thank you, Jeremy.
It's amazing to see how fast they grow and how healthy they seem to be.
@onewing Thank you, Babs. Me too! I like the solitude and privacy out here and that would disappear with a bunch of houses built on top of each other.
@kvphoto Thank you, KV.
@phil_howcroft Thank you, Phil.
@wh2021 Thank you.
@kjarn Thanks, Kathy.
@briaan Thanks, Brian.
@sangwann Thank you, Dione. I don't care for crowds and the lack of serenity that will follow.
