My favorite place to be

Our son is starting the daunting task of clearing up the dead wood from these fallen trees.The ones standing that the woodpeckers are working on will remain however long it takes till they fall to dust.
Thirty years ago I pulled some creeping pine{I`m not sure if that is the correct name of it}from the dh`s parents property & started it down here in the woods where it carpets alot of the forest floor now.
Several native holly bushes have sprung up ,promising berries to come soon.I watched the wildlife this morning & came away with these few pictures,The bluejay looked like a huge parrot to me & he was climbing up & down trees searching for his cache of stored food,I guess,as this red-bellied woodpecker was.
