I love when shagbark buds open! These photos are wonderful — I’m so glad you were able to get them in the little window of time when the hickories look like this. You’ve inspired me to go out and look at our young one today!

I didn’t know about this – what a great shot! Isn’t it lovely.
I’ve never seen such a nice close-up of that trunk in all its dandruff! and there’s that fresh green branch to the left – very good.
