Virginia Creeper

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOur woods are home to a burgeoning crop of Virginia Creeper. These ‘jungle’ vines can attach themselves to anything. I’ve come across dead trees that look perfectly healthy … until you realize that the only leaves growing there are these!
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThey grow up the sides of trees and sometimes can develop ‘trunks’ that are the same width as a healthy sapling. They sure do get in the way when you are raking up ‘donkey poop’ out of the woods!
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAIt’s not a good idea to stand still too long when you are out in those woods. What’s that Rosie? You’re spending the rest of your days here in the paddock?
