A walk in the woods

Saturday was a strange weather day.  Started out with rain.  Then continued with fog AND wind (unusual).  Finally in the afternoon the sun came out.  So I decided to take a walk in the woods:
A widowmaker
.
held up about 15 feet by two spindly trees
.
poplar, they grow straight and fast but not strong 
.
but dead trees results in green shoots, these are ramp greens
.
the ramps have been out about a week now, they will die back when the trees fully leaf out
.
I usually just pick the greens but some people will dig up the root bulb, kind of like a wild scallion
