Alright here we are. Reason I don't post pictures much is because of how long it takes for me. First I email them from my phone, then resize them, then upload to photo bucket which is the most stressful and bothersome thing of all because of how laggy the site is and how many times things freeze up. But I took the time as I said I would to get you guys the photos. They are a few days old now so things have progressed some more.

Southern magnolias have naturalized in the piedmont of NC. Here are some growing in the forest.







Broadleaf evergreens


Leafing oaks

























Pine forests tend to have a high density of American hollies growing with them too.














































Here yall go. spent 1 hour and a half to get these to you. There are more that refused to upload but I gave up on those. Had pictures of more leafing trees but they didn't upload for some reason. most trees are leafing now and the color of spring will probably begin to peak in a week or so as things begin to wind down an leaf out. Pollen this year is better than last year. Last year it was an overnight thing, no pollen one day, then the next day you wake up to find an explosion with streets and cars completely coated in yellow, right now its slowly going day by day it becomes more noticeable but this is much easier for people with allergies. Much of this countryside you see was severely affected by the 2011 tornado outbreak, still saw some old large oaks not removed in some areas.
