Two old sentries watching over a field in Southeastern Wisconsin. Shot quite a few years ago, but still a favorite of mine.

@idropyou Do you know the species. I was expecting oak, but they don’t look very oaky.

@bob_some_ale I thought they were oaks, but I am probably wrong. I'll have find the old RAW file and see if I can tell from the bark and branching. They may be sugar maples...which I should know at a glance 😆

@bob_some_ale Found the RAW files. And, with some tweaking, I'm going to go with Burr Oaks. Bark and branching seem to match.

@idropyou Not doubting you at all, but the form is crazy for open grown Burr Oaks. But I guess that what oaks do. Gorgeous pic BTW.
