This tree has seen many storms...
I am very "honored" that my picture has been used as a title for a band :-)

The music won't make it into the charts. I managed only to listen the first 10 seconds... .-)
(No, I do not have an affiliation with this band)
If you vote delete, you have to listen the whole video... ;-)

Must View Large!
This is a shot of Twin Sisters Rock (the "other twin" is eclipsed by the southern most one, but there are two pillars, I promise. :) )after sunset. This gnarled old tree was a pretty cool thing to put in the foreground, not to mention the several geo-caches in it. :) It was a cool spot for sure! It is a pretty unique place at the mouth of the Wallula Gap with a pretty short trail that is easy to walk. WARNING!: And don't plan on staying there for any period of time after sunset! The park closes at dusk and a resident on the edge of the park enforces it strictly... he got out a massive spotlight and would send us blinking signals. Then he aimed his car at us, turned on the high beams and then again turned on the spotlight... After this, he yelled at us asking if we needed a little incentive to get our butts moving.... So yeah, don't try to do night photography. :)
You can view more information on the park here.
Thanks to Gary Paulson, Rick Scheibner and Grant Meyer for getting the group together for this cool little meet-up. I had a lot of fun and saw some pretty cool new things! Thanks guys!
Thanks for viewing!

Walking in the Forrest early spring, I looked up at the Bare Trees and suddenly I felt as though I was Naked.
This is a tree at the U of M Botanical Gardens that I have seen and sat near about a million times. Finally, the other day, I saw the monsters in it. Do you?
Sit under a tree and have a picnic on the lawn, wander down to our two dams and listen to the frogs, or try and spy a black wallaby in our natural bushland forest
I captured this leafy scene while visiting the annual Red Barns Spectacular car show at the Gilmore Car Museum on August 3, 2019.

Warren, Connecticut. The trees in our backyard are shrouded in fog again and now that I've realized the photographic possibilities fog offers I'm delighted. Fog both softens a scene and creates a limited color palette which appeals to me in the same way Chinese landscape watercolor washes do. I think I could become a "fog watcher."
Note: this was taken last year but the scene is much the same right now. I like this image better than the ones I just took so I'm posting it.
About the Killing Fields
The Killing Fields are a number of sites in Cambodia where large numbers of people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime, during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979, immediately after the end of the Cambodian Civil War (1970-1975).
Analysis of 20,000 mass grave sites by the DC-Cam Mapping Program and Yale University indicate at least 1,386,734 victims. Estimates of the total number of deaths resulting from Khmer Rouge policies, including disease and starvation, range from 1.7 to 2.5 million out of a population of around 8 million. In 1979, communist Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime.
Cambodian journalist Dith Pran coined the term 'killing fields' during his escape from the regime. A 1984 film, The Killing Fields, tells the story of Dith Pran, played by another Cambodian survivor Haing S. Ngor, and his journey to escape the death camps
About Choeng Ek
Choeung Ek, the site of a former orchard and Chinese graveyard about 17 km south of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is the best-known of the sites known as The Killing Fields, where the Khmer Rouge regime executed about 17,000 people between 1975 and 1979. Mass graves containing 8,895 bodies were discovered at Choeung Ek after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the dead were former political prisoners who were kept by the Khmer Rouge in their Tuol Sleng detention center.
Today, Choeung Ek is a memorial, marked by a Buddhist stupa. The stupa has acrylic glass sides and is filled with more than 5,000 human skulls. Some of the lower levels are opened during the day so that the skulls can be seen directly. Many have been shattered or smashed in.
