Robina pseudoacacia and Juniperus virginiana at the Crossroads. 24-105mm Sony G, Sony a7R4, Lr C9, Ps CC21.
A copse of youngish black locusts, Robinia pseudoacacia. I have been photographing these for years and it seems they just don’t grow. So maybe they aren’t as youngish as they would appear. Depleted soil? Probably, but since these are nitrogen fixing it is not likely a nitrogen shortage.

This morning before sun up at Schoolhouse Ridge North, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. This little clump of black locusts has hardly grown in the last ten years. Depleted soil? Anyway, it was a nice foggy morning for being afield yielding a number of good images. Robinia pseudoacacia.

Black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia. Morning or mourning, your choice. There is often a predator sitting in this tree.

The same copse of young black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia, as the last post but in late summer a year and a half later on a beautiful foggy morning.

A copse of young black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia, in winter. The inherent edginess of the Canon 5D Mark II is evident here. See the next image for a late summer image of the same scene from a slightly different angle.
