Subalpine Fir Hi Walter  thanks very nice pics again  Im doing very little on wiki just at the mo my computer seems set to expire keeps on freezing in midtype   grrrr so if I disappear thats why Nootka Cypress has been reclassified recently youll find it at Callitropsis nootkatensis now the reasons for the change are outlined there    Thank you Ive put Nootka Cypress in the proper category now Im sorry to hear of your computer woes Best wishes   Thanks Been wondering  do you have any opinion on whether it would be better to have Subalpine Fir at one page or two the two species split used by Fl N Amer is far from universally accepted eg USDA dont accept it I was thinking of a moving the present page to just Subalpine Fir and b expanding on the onetwo species discussion to make a page similar to that for White Fir also split into two species by Fl N Amer or the coverage of Alpine Spruce at Norway Spruce Let me know what you think    I think that is a good proposal and support it Pojar op cit does much the same and it works well Coast Range Subalpine Fir and Rocky Mountains Subalpine Fir would be replaced by redirects to help those unfamiliar with the issue Will do computer permitting just now it seems to need  hours cooloff time for every half hour of working before it goes on the blink  yet a temperature indicator says it isnt overheating Hmmm  needs an admin to do it Ill give Guettarda a buzz    Addenum  Guettardas done it now Ill start working on the page    I thought the White Fir and Norway Spruce articles were very good Thanks  Some redirects for the White Fir and Norway Spruce common names seem to be missing Is this intentional No my oversight  Im forever forgetting to do all the necessary redirects By all means add any you see missing Do you have plans to work on Abies amabilis anytime soon It is the dominant midelevation species west of the Cascade crest in Washington often with only small number of other individuals mostly Thuja plicata and Tsuga heterophylia Yes again computer permitting for pics Ive got a studio closeup of some foliage useful to show the dense pubescence but a pic or two or three or four  from the wild would be brilliant Any options on getting cones or is it a poor crop this year Your suggestions of image subjects from Washington are welcome Any are welcome If theres lots they can always go in  format Outsize trees are nice but typical average mature specimens are also perhaps better for an encyclopedia I liked the Whitebark Pine pic in that respect and shots of foliage  cones Vine Maple would be good too theres already a PD pic from the USDA but its very low res and could do with replacing ditto for several other broadleaves too And Taxus brevifolia only very low res PD pic at the mo Best wishes   Thanks again     Thank you for the image suggestions I think that I can get some of them soon Thought of another  Grand Fir could do with a tree pic   Perhaps the giant tree images could go into a new article Giant Trees or something similar eventually Someone else suggested that too by moving the Champion trees section out of Tree to its own page it might be a good idea   Why not request admin status Id be happy to suggest it if you prefer   Thanks I may do yet Guettarda is also suggesting it     Pacific Silver Fir Hi Walter  done now awaiting a pic for the taxobox and any more details Ive omitted    Excellent article I like the illustrations you found especially the closeup of the lower surface I spent several hours looking through thousands of images without finding any that are suitable Either the treesfoliage are incidental to the image or the identity of the species is uncertain Now that I have a good reason to go on a photography expedition the weather has turned bad Snow is forecast down to  to  in the next few days It is our first significant storm of the fall When it improves Ill try to
