[Magdalen] Monterey fire?

[Charles Wohlers]

The other advantage trees have, at least in out neck of the woods, is that 
there aren't nearly as many different species. Up here we have hardly more 
than a dozen different "large" trees (i. e., quaking aspen, pin cherry, 
striped maple, etc., excepted).

And, as for standing still, that's why I specialize in wildflower pictures, 
as opposed to critters. Much easier.

When I finish learning birds, I am going to do trees.  They will be easier
because they mostly stand still.
