14 Jan 2017. 59° and cloudy in Clover, SC. Pictured: Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) distinguishable in winter from winged elm (Ulmus alata) by its more prominent, reddish buds. #identification #sweetgum #wingedelm #botany #babynaturalist #tree #winter #winterbotany
Last week's #adventurefriday was a hike at Miami Whitewater Forest. Nice and cold- I was even reckless enough to walk a few feet out onto a frozen pond! The dog had a great time, the boy complained about my making him exercise, and I saw some lovely trees. There's still plenty of botany to be done even when the woody stuff is denuded and the herby stuff has died back! 1st pic: feet over a spot of clear ice. 2nd pic: shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) showing off how it got its common name. #hiking #adventure #botany #winterbotany #winterhiking
