I'm very much interested in reading the piece PH, but how do I go about sending ya a PM? Cheers, AppleJack.

I don't know if you're interested or if the trees in question are local enough to visit every other day, if so then ya may be traight to the spectacle of flocks of waxwings during late Jan-Feb. Crabs are a magnet for them. If possible, follow the hoard (listen, as they are very noisy when...

Without standing in front of those trees with a fruit in one hand, knife in the other I can't be 100% sure but I agree. Going by the extent of lichen on the stems, they're old crab apple trees. Off-white/yellow/green/red/dark plum forms are all still to be seen if one knows where to look and...
