Good German, how did you figure it out?

By the way fellers, ladies, and lurkers, as you guessed already, I don't know any more about trees and bushes than you do. In fact, this interaction with you is helping me a lot. You help confirm my analysis after I get the things home. Now, here is a branch from a bush that I never even knew...

Heres a good range map for the brown recluse (tongue-in-cheek)

Well, more of a midwest to south thing. Google up the range maps of the brown recluse. Your population in NY seems to be an anomoly. Like the water moccasin in NJ, the incorrect sightings are plentiful. That's not to say they are not moving towards this area.

Something about a field that trees love. An abscence of competition in the roots, and full sun. How many times in our lives, when we'd see a familiar old tree in the middle of a field while speeding by. They were usually bursting with life. Can you tell what it is from this distance?

That's bad, they were not supposed to be up here yet from the southern states.

I'm sure some of you can get this one. A leaf and an immature fruit is your clue.

What really annoys me is what these dotards are doing to science in social media. They have a very interesting geology, or space, or landscape photo and try to pass it off as a real photo. This is not good.

As to the view on the right, it looks like they laid the trees out similar to what might be seen in a western area (the leaning look to them).

Say hey Willie! Whaddaya say.

That wolf sitting down in the center-left also has his hind feet on the table. He's very flexible.

24 years old. Wow! What is it fed.

Makes me shiver just thinking about them.

I came upon an old dump in a nice wetland. People back then had no idea of protecting the environment on their minds.

Yes, loblolly. I picked up a cone, very bristly.

Click on the photo, you can then zoom in. See if you still think it would be shortleaf.

Big daddy in the meadow.

Nice photo of the pinweed Tom. I've never seen one in flower like that.

I like your approach. By the way, if you look at the closeup, you'll see the hairs and yellowish scales that make this species unique (well, maybe not the scales, you'd have to look at the zoom scope).

Very good Ron. What feature nailed it down for you.
