Missed me!

It was quite windy on Friday. While making my daily rounds with the dog, I was walking beneath a large tree when I heard a loud tearing, cracking sound coming from overhead. It occurred to me at that time that it might be a good idea to get away from that tree, and sooner would be better than later. I suggested the same to a woman walking nearby, and we proceeded briskly away from the tree. It was only seconds later that the tree split down the middle and a large chunk of it fell where I had been walking. It think it took at least 5 seconds or more to fall so I believe I would have had time to get out of the way had I been underneath, but I'm glad I didn't have to find out. Of course, I had to get pictures the next time I went back. And, lucky you! Here they are.
