Thanks to Nina Ignaczak from Planet Detroit, I was able to participate in a late winter Belle Isle Tree Walk. I learned some great technical terms – terminal bud, lateral bud, lenticels, and pith – and some tree identification tips. Of course, I was somewhat distracted with photography; I really enjoyed making some macro photos. After the walk, a did some additional exploring of the island, which is stunning any time of year. I will share those in my next post (here is a link).
