Tappahannock Oak VII - Check Up

After this week's ice storm the trees in the area were pretty severely damaged, including a couple of ours (see Ice Storm '21 - Canopy; Ice Storm '21 - The James; Ice Storm '21 - Ice Buds; Ice Storm '21 - The Garage; Ice Storm '21 - Beaver Lodge).

The Missus and I went to check on our friend, the Tappahannock Oak, to see how it fared. Fortunately, TO came out OK, having lost only a couple of small branches, not even visible in this shot. Unfortunately, another ice storm is predicted to come through in the next two days, so there will likely be another installment in the Tappahannock Oak series soon.

The other shots in this series are at:

You got a rough winter there! Glad to see this tree is doing well.

[Danette Thompson]

I hope it stands strong

You are like the Edward Steichen of Virginia. Recording the different faces of a single tree! BTW, the link to snow day isn’t working.

@allie912 Thanks for the heads up. The link to TO 6 is fixed.

@allie912 And I'm a bit humbled bay the Steichen reference...I barely consider my self Tim Erskine of Chesterfield

It's looking strong. Good shot Tim.
