Mick, I am in Madison.
Here's some new pix I took today!
Not sure if this will work ... I decided to try to take fall pictures early last week, after we'd heard the colors weren't going to be very nice this year (the naysayers were wrong, although all the rain and wind we've had recently have brought down a bunch of leaves), so I took the Rogue down to the swamp at the end of the street for fun. The Rogue for two reasons: I thought the black would contrast nicely with whatever brightness the leaves had and because I didn't worry about it down at the swamp. Anyway, here are two pictures. I included the dark one because it looked kinda atmospheric.

Redwood/Koa C# hanging in friends dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), the only deciduous member of the redwood family. There's an interesting story behind the tree. Some recycled redwood lumber was bought 30 years ago at a salvage yard in El Paso Texas. Turns out the boards were originally milled at a sawmill near the Gila national forest in southwest NM from logs brought in off the forest. This fact was brought to the attention of a tree grower in Los Lunas NM.
The nurseryman who sells the seedlings today claims he collected the seeds from a remnant population of dawn redwood way up the middle fork of the Gila river. While all the chinese dawn redwoods evidently have opposite leaves, this variant has alternate leaves.
Bill, I wish things like that mandolin hung from the trees here in North Carolina! Very nice two pointer! I always look forward to your pictures!
I lived in El Paso about 26 years ago ... missed that one ... cool mandolin!
