Here is a Kentucky Coffee tree that was recently struck by lightening. The bark that peeled off the tree is on top of the grass. There is a dead squirrel next to the tree that apparently was killed by the strike.
Why did the lightening go down the trunk in a spiral?
How much of a chance does this tree have in surviving this strike? I have read in books that trees can survive but it will be a tree that I want to revisit in future years.
Notice the feather compound leaves. They are double compound.
These are my favorite photos, so far. They take me back to childhood when I looked up at the leaves, the sky and the clouds, and had such a wonder and awe at my God who was behind His beautiful creation. Boy! They really take me back...
