Tree Tuesday ~ Big Pine

As a group, pines are still the most common Canadian conifers and yield lumber, pulp and paper.

Early French settlers were exporting pine from as early as 1700 (Canada became a country in 1867) as well as using it for construction and shipbuilding. In the province of Ontario, the tallest pine is 47 metres (154 feet) high or roughly the same height as a 13 storey building.

They are photogenic trees and often served as subjects in paintings by The Group of Seven, a group of Canadian landscape painters from 1920 to 1933 who pioneered a distinct nature focused art style.

How beautiful when there is a lot of greenery!
I also really like pine.
And I really like her fragrance!
In the pine forest, the air is amazing!
Not to mention the fact that it is very useful.

The payout is odd because the sum of the individual upvotes is greater than the total, but the curation rewards are nicer -- I can see that already.

Because of the hard fork? I'm making more on curation than I did when I had the big delegation.
