"I'm not dead yet!"

There were two vultures in this tree, but one flew away before i could take the picture.

This sad old tree has fallen, but rather than crashing to the ground, the top has lodged in another tree nearby. Slowly it is decaying, but the wood plays like a violin when the wind blows, the sounds are very disturbing, a kind of plea to be free from its captivity.

*Might not actually be dead.

A tree burned a few years ago on Mount Palomar

This reminded me of the dead marshes in Lord of the Rings. Creeeeepy.

In Duluth, people are fond of upending driftwood trees, roots upward, on the beach. I think of them as lake totems.

Lighting Oak

This is what happens when hot spring water starts flowing by established trees and they start drinking it up. Sad...

All the cows ducked behind the bushes just as I clicked the shutter

The crows nest on the end of this old tree, just made me smile so I tried to capture it.
