Evergreen

It has been my contention for many years that the world around us contains many things that we walk by everyday without taking notice. There are two trees outside our RV, almost within arms reach, that caught my attention recently due to the seeds that have appeared on the branches. I knew they were cedar trees but never gave it a second thought till a friend was here and we were discussing the seeds because they were so different and we had never seen them before. And that is for good reason. We are not from the area but the trees are. They are indigenous to northeast Michigan and do not grow in areas that would be familiar to those of us from warmer climes.

 I have owned a book for over 30 years that I go to automatically when I want to identify an unknown plant or animal. So this tree is a Northern White Cedar.
