Today's lesson is pre-commercial thinning. Client property; clearcut 10 years ago and planted without any site preparation. LOTS of natural loblolly and Virginia pine seeded in. Stand is WAY overstocked and will take twice as long to produce half as much wood.
Brought in a crew to manually fell stems to bring it down to about 500 trees per acre. Very labor intensive. Took a crew of 12 guys 6 days to do 111 acres. Now, my client bought the property like this, so it was the hand he was dealt. The cost to properly prep and plant is about $200/acre. Just planting costs about $75/acre. Cost to this PCT was about $130/acre. And while the stand will grow from here on out as if it was planted properly, it's probably 5 years behind a properly prepped stand in terms of time to first harvest. Would you rather have $1000/acre in 20 years or 25 years?  DSCN2360-Fork Union Before1 by FredMan, on Flickr

Garrison Commander Col. Brett Funck, right, talks about Iron Mike with Daniel Vue. Daniel Visited Fayetteville and Fort Bragg through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Daniel was diagnosed with leukemia last year, the cancer is in remission. Iron Mike is the central statue on Fort Bragg representing the Airborne Paratrooper.

Went out to shoot a sunrise this morning, this was taken right before a line of severe storms passed through. Colors were wacky, sadly it all turned grey 10 minutes after.

Don't think so, looks more like an osprey to me. I'm no bird expert though.  He passed over me, heading away from me then circled back and came directly back at me and never took his eyes off me. Zoomed right overhead...I probably got 40+ decent shots of him on his approach and flyover. Still working on tracking / panning with birds in flight, I'm missing fewer and fewer shots every time I head out it seems. ETA - New day, new picture:  Beat the heat by Jay, on Flickr |
