~Coeur D Alene Idaho and the Surrounding area~
If you were to look at a cross section of this tree, you would see the tree trunk is made up of a series of concentric rings. Since a living tree adds one growth ring each year, you can determine the age of the tree by counting the number of growth rings. A core sample taken from this triple twist tree, showed it to be at least 1,350 years old. " A sign a few feet from the tree read." This tree died around 1950. The sign had a image that showed a few precarious green leaves hanging on for life.

Roxy enjoying a romp on the shores of Lake Coeur D Alene in late March.
While lying in bed this morning, my Wife said the lake might look good for a Sunrise photo. I decided I could go back to sleep, but my wife's cold foot urged me on. The good thing about this spot is it's only three blocks from my house & I could have lied about that, but my wife told me not to. This was taken from the East end of Tubbs Hill looking across Lake Coeur D Alene.
