4Runner photo game

[PaulsTrail]

Next Challenge: your 4Runner with an interesting or abstract reflected image.
Enhance it if you wish.

This may be cheating a bit, but to get things moving again here's a reflection of our '67 Mustang as well as our old Grand Cherokee in the side of the 4Runner.

Next challenge - Your 4Runner with some nice fall colors. Hood shots are OK.

Too early in the mitten. Only unhealthy trees are turning.

I don't know about that. We have lots of trees turning down here. Kind of surprising actually with all the rain and decent weather we have had.

Nothing you don't know, from the politics of a state you don't live in to the rate of turn of leaves on trees 2000 miles away from you. Impressive.

Yep, true. Deciduous trees stressed by disease, bark damage, insects, fire, etc. will change color, drop their leaves, and go dormant earlier than their healthy neighboring trees as a defense mechanism.
Been there, seen it. It’s well studied and documented.
I miss the east coast autumns.

At least in SE MI, it has been very dry and unseasonably warm for quite a while. The soybean and corn yields are coming in pretty low partly due to this, so it has not been great for early fall color. We are starting to get cooler weather and more frequent rains, so maybe a colorful autumn is just around the corner. Compared to our friends on the west coast dealing with fires and the south east with all the tropical storms, our problems are miniscule.

I have owned a tree nursery for years Einstein. I have our Dept of Agriculture phone number in my Favorites on my iPhone.

Why don't you call them and ask how to stop shitting in threads?

 

[MeefZah]

Do we have a new challenge? Dafuq is going on here?

A tree farm is not a forest.
Maybe you can do a little bit of research after you stop hugging your trees.

So what do the trees say when they talk to you Mark?

“Ouch that squirrel is biting my nuts”

“I wish that bear would poop on my roots”

“Someone scratch my branch the ants are making it itchy”

1) Post a pic that meets the current challenge. :bravo:
2) Issue a new challenge. :shrug:

Everyone else, I'm impressed with all of the tree knowledge by the way. I have bunches of trees and almost 4 years of post-grad studies in Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries. The tree/forest projects were interesting. BUT THIS THREAD AIN'T ABOUT THAT.

 

[Deuxdiesel]

Oh crap, I am sorry. I did not realize it was up to me to continue it.

Post a pic of your 4Runner in front of a major sports arena.

Well, I guess I'll reset, I passed this landmark today and couldn't resist taking some photos.

Wisconsin Historical Markers: Ship Rock

Next challenge: a photo of your 4Runner next to a Bronco.

Good one. Too bad about the a*holes and graffiti. It’s happening everywhere there’s easy access.
