Karl barked instead of heading for the house.  Gunshots send Karl for his closet hidey-hole.  There were 2 more &#8220;shots&#8221;\/cracks&#8230;  Today I found 3 broken trees from the direction of the sound.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/SunshineTreeARoot500375.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/SunshineTreeARoot500375.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/SunshineTreeATree375500.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/SunshineTreeATree375500.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This tree fell and\/or broke at the root.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/SunshineTreeBBroken500375.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/SunshineTreeBBroken500375.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This poor tree just broke&#8230;you can see the part that stayed in the ground to the right &#8211; it is about 5 feet high.<\/p>\n<p>This is the very sad part of a June snow storm.  I&#8217;m sure my damage was minimal compared to parts of town that have oak and other old deciduous trees.
