Botanical Horror!

Oh, the things I would miss if I walk too fast! Along the Pohono Trail in Yosemite, a friend spotted a truly grotesque sight. I am no arborist, but it seems to be a vine grappling a much older tree, in a way resembling the large arteries and veins running to and from a human heart. Here, I isolated the color of the vine to emphasize the twisted, snarling branches and the cruel relationship between the living and the taking from the living.
