dead trees

[skippercollector]

Anyone driving through Ohio will notice the huge amount of dead trees. The deciduous ones were ash. The emerald ash borer has decimated the ash tree population.
The coniferous trees were pine. Ohio never really had the climate nor the soil to support pine trees to begin with, and the weird summer weather we've had in the past 10 years (either really, really hot and dry some years and cool and very, very rainy other years) was more than the pine trees could handle. Now it looks like the spruces are dying off as well.
