The full moving moon shone through the bare basswood, oak, ironwood and black locust last night. Bare trees in winter will be missing on Black Mountain, with the exception of a handful of aspen. The montane eco-system has conifers, whose strategy is to conserve water through tiny needles all year rather than exposing broad leaves during the growing season. The view out our bedroom window will not change as it does here.
