Cousins in the sun

Towering over the understory, a sugar maple (left center) and red maple (top) shared some sun yesterday morning.

The warm, dry fall facilitates nice work in the woods. Thinning of mainly ash and then the cutting to length has made this handy pile of future kindling and bigger wood ready for 18 months under a tarp before boxing up and moving into the garages in the distance. None of this will burn for two years.
