On such a nice day I wanted there to be more signs of life in the woods. I listen for noises and it a pretty quiet day. I wonder what all of the birds and other creatures are. Maybe Mia running through the area has scared most of them away. I am hoping to see a deer today while I walk. Some small trees are covered with vines. Most of the trees look the same very thin and not super tall. However, as I keep walking I come across a tree that sticks out from the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/english\/228-2019s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_4084-e1552658665767-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/english\/228-2019s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_4084-e1552658665767-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/english\/228-2019s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_4084-e1552658665767-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/english\/228-2019s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_4084-e1552658665767-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Its bark is smooth compared to the <g class=\"gr_ gr_7 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar\" id=\"7\" data-gr-id=\"7\">others<\/g> rough and jagged bark.
